Hello,

I encounter weird connection problems with Classic whereas the same
connection string works fine with Superserver. This happens for both
Firebird 1.5.3 and Firebird 2.0.0 on the same machine with Windows XP
Prof. SP2.

For example, I've an alias defined "employee.fdb". With Superserver I
can connect with isql by using a connection string of
localhost:employee.fdb. The same fails under Classic with the following
error messages:

- Firebird 1.5.3

c:\Programme\Firebird\Firebird_153_3050\bin>isql
Use CONNECT or CREATE DATABASE to specify a database
SQL> connect localhost:employee.fdb user sysdba password masterkey;
Statement failed, SQLCODE = -902

Unable to complete network request to host "localhost".
-Failed to establish a connection.
SQL>

- Firebird 2.0.0

c:\Programme\Firebird\Firebird_200_3050\bin>isql
Use CONNECT or CREATE DATABASE to specify a database
SQL>
SQL> connect localhost:employee.fdb user sysdba password masterkey;
Statement failed, SQLCODE = -923
connection rejected by remote interface
SQL>


As said, the same connection string works fine with Superserver. Tests
have been made with Firewall (ZoneAlarm) enabled and disabled. Doesn't
matter.

As I want to use Classic on my new Core 2 Duo laptop, I would appreciate
any help.

Thanks!
