Hi,

Well i do write:

C:\Program Files\firebird\bin>gsec -user sysdba -password masterkey;

I also tried to connect via isql.exe but failed, after copying the examples folder to root c:\ i had success! shall i make the whole installation of firebird into c:\ ? (i don't think so!)

FYI, i have several IP Adresses on this server and want to have 1 just for firebird. Another thing i couldn't find was the Port firebird is using!
