I'm having the problem with only one connection.

PLEASE can someone who knows explain what the mechanism is that installs a
process via xinetd for the Firebird connection. There must be something in
this that needs modifying when working with fixed IP addresses or do I have to
get the customers IT department to list them in their DNS server?

don't have a means of doing it on site at present :( )
