What exactly do you mean by client in this context? To me, a client
firebird setup would
be done so that databases can be run on a remote machine. A server setup
would allow the
local machine to be the server that runs the database.
Are you trying to run the database on your laptop from the Win 2000 PC?

If this is the case, what connnection string are you using to connect to the
database.

If the full superserver is installed locally on the win 2000 machine and the
database is
local to this machine, there should be no problem in running it locally on
this machine.
