Hi Sebastien

The port that changes is the 'outgoing' port. Port 3050 is a static
connection listening to incoming connections to the FB server. what you
probable need to do is something like

iptables -I INPUT 1 -i [interface] -p tcp -m tcp --dport 3050 -j ACCEPT
(exactly like this)

"interface" is either eth0, eth1 or ppp0 depending on where your connection
is coming from. ie same network, external, firewall, etc.

Subject: [firebird-support] Pb XP Firbird and Firewall


Hello everybody,

I have a problem with a firebird v0.9 linux server and a client under
XP. When I connect to the database from the client the time connection
is very long but when I turned off the firewall the connection is
normal. I tried to open 3050 port on my computer and I do a netstat to
see the listening port. But the connection port is changing all the
time, so it only work when the firewall is off.
Does anybody has somme advice for me.
Thanks

Sebastien
