OK .. So it was the Windows Firewall.

I added Port exception: gds_db, TCP, 3050, and all working now again.

Subject: [firebird-support] Vista server with two Vista clients .. unable to connect.


Hi, I've just set up FB 2.1.1 on a Vista Bussiness Machine.
I've copied the old Security db over.

I can connect locally.

When I try to connect to LIMPOPO:c:/limpopo/data/limpopo.fdb from one of the Client Pc's on the network, then the connection fails to connect.
It doesn't see the server.

The network between the 2 client PC's also running and the server is working perfectly.
Must I open a port on the LIMPOPO PC?

Regards

Adrian
