When I access firebird over my LAN I use:
192.168.1.201:c:\mydata\resource.gdb

What is the proper way to access firebird over a WAN. For instance,
the firebird server is in NYC and I want to access the database from a
pc in San Francisco. The ip address of the New York router is
162.83.141.186.

I tried:
162.38.141.186:3050\c:\mydata\resource.gdb and
162.38.141.186:c:\mydata\resource.gdb, neither of which work.

What is the preferred way to address the firebird database on a
remoter server.

Thanks

Ira
