Hi,

We have a problem running Firebird 1.54 over the internet. We have
firewalls on both sides client and server. We have made the RemoteAux
Port 3051 and opened both 3050 and 3051 on both server network and
client network firewalls.

Problem is it works and its its ok speed wise but if we dont do
anything to the database for a few seconds it reports a problem
retrieving data. Says that the host forcibly closed the connection.

The serverside is Firebird 1.54 super server, the client side we are
connecting two ways, firstly with Database workbench (which i think
uses IBO) and then secondly with our delphi 2007 application which
uses IBO to connect to the database. The connection string is

ip-address:alias

Does anybody have an idea why we keep getting the connection close on
us in both applications?

Many thanks,

Andy
