these two IP addresses to see each other they need 255.255.0.0. Once
they are giving each other a ping response you'll be in business.

they do, if the two machines are doing Windows device-sharing, but
Windows device-sharing doesn't use TCP/IP as its transport, so do
check that it is configured.

attempting to connect, tell us what it is, preferably including the
9-digit ISC code if you're seeing that. The firebird.log might tell
you (and us) a bit more about the network problems, too. We don't want
the whole log. INET errors are TCP/IP errors, usually accompanied by
a 5-digit error code on Windows....

thanks for quick info.

i have 2 network adaptors
1 is wireless connection
2 is Hamachi adaptor
hamachi adaptor has subnet 255.0.0.0
dhcp :5.0.0.1

both the machines are pinging each other only with Hamachi ip
(5.x.x.x), but, not with 192.x.x.x.

from my odbc DSN setings i gave the following ways

5.x.x.x:mydb
5.x.x.x:3050:mydb
192.x.x.x:mydb
192.x.x.x:3050:mydb

when i try to test the connection, (from DSN configuration). the
message is connection failed
