> Hi,

> Firebird 2.1.3, Windows XP

> Have 2 applications. The main application and a smaller version for use on
> a another laptop. The main application is used to connect to a database

> At a client site I have the problem that I can't connect to the other

> laptop as "N" drive and the laptop name is "Stoich". The connection string
> I use is:
> Stoich:N:\Program Files\AppDirectory\App.fdb
> Keep getting message to say that Cannot connect to ....... Have also
