If it helps and if I'm remembering correctly, the two computers are
connected using a crossover cable. The path specified in the
connection component is using a UNC path to the target database. It's
roughly \\HostMachineName\drive letter\directory\mydatabase.fdb

I'm not sure what you don't believe. I'm sorry if I've miscommunicated
something, but what motivation would anyone here have for
misrepresenting the facts? I greatly appreciate the advice
and certainly have no interest in doing so.
