Matt,

this is not a specific Firebird issue. Everything that a Firebird
client needs to connect to the server is a TCP/IP connection on port
3050/tcp. So the problem boils down to getting this TCP/IP connection
going between your two locations.

Is that a direct TCP/IP link between both locations? Or do you want to
connect them via the Internet? In the first case, there's practically
nothing you need to do (other than set up a switch or so). In the
latter case you will need a VPN (Virtual Private Network) tunnel.

HTH

Stefan
