Subject connecting to db on the server
Author bwc3068
Hi--

I've got a really newbie question for you.

I've got a Delphi / FB / IBO app.

I've got a local network with a file server named 'kirk'. There's a
folder on it named C:\DB. Inside it is my db file to connect to.
Firebird is installed and running on it (in Services, I see:
Firebird Server and FB Guardian Service running). I can
successfully ping 'kirk' from the client PC.

On the client PC, I'm trying to connect to that database.

In my IB_Connection.databaseName, I've got: kirk:C:\DB\K5.GDB

IB_Connection.protocol = cp_TCP_IP

If I try and IB_Connection.Connected := True, I get the below error:


ISC Error Code: 335544721

ISC Error:
Unable to complete network request to host 'kirk'.
Failed to establist a connection.

unknown Win32 error 10060



any thoughts?

TIA
Kelly
