Can you provide more information.
What OS? Is the Firebird server running? e.g. if you press
Ctrl-Alt_Del can you see fbserver or fb_inet_server in Task Manager
processes
Can you connect using isql? Have you previously been using an existing
database with e.g. Delphi7? If not have you checked the Ibphoenix
documentation.
