Well now at the moment all is working fine i know it is working if i
use isql localhost to login, i have a database which i want to use on
it and i have tried it on windows it works fine.

Windows is the application side which access's firebird, how can i
gain access to it on linux?

sorry for the stupid questions and i know they are basic but i am not
getting the fundamental of it all.

Thank you

Sarky
