Use the physical network node name (hostname) of the computer (which
you can read in My Computer) and provide the physical path as seen by
the host machine. For example, if the hostname is SasasPC and the
database is on the c: drive:
SasasPC:c:\data\MyDatabase.fdb
You will need a valid Firebird username and password for logging in.
