I have tried to move our firebird 1.5.3 classic server (linux) to a
new box. I have restored all the databases with no problems. From
the linux box i can connect to the main database using isql but i
cannot connect remotley. Firewall and selinux is currently turned
off, i can ssh to the box no worries. From a command prompt on the
box i can telnet localhost 3050 and that works fine, i can do a
Netstat -an |grep 3050 and it tells me its listening. It may be a
permissions problem somewhere because i get the following errors when
i try to connect from ibexpert on a windwos xp client.
