Subject RE: [firebird-support] Accessing firebird database on LAN
Author Tariq Mujber
Hi,



The software which I am installing is called miHotel Manager. When I am
installing the software, it asks me if I want to install it as a server or a
client. So, I did install the software on a computer as a server and on
another computer as client. The software installs a copy of the firebird
server automatically on the server computer. One the client computer, two
files are installed on c:\windows\system32, which are fbclient.dll, and/or
gds32.dll.



The windows task manager shows that the fbserver.exe and fbguard.exe files
are working.



The software on the server computer works fine but when I am trying to
access it on the client computer, it gives a message that can not access the
database. Here is the access command which I did use:



192.168.1.153:C:\Program Files\SoftMI\miHotel\DB\



This command works fine on the server but it gives an error on the client to
access the database.



I hope this explains my problem.



Thanks for the help.



Tariq

keep talking, tell us exactcly what you are trying to do.
did you install the server?
I can't beleive (from your posts) that it all went without incident or
further questions)
OS all machines, server type, super/classic -which did you select?
is the server running?
is it plugged in and the power on?
etc etc...
