Yes, you are right, could not connect.

> What services were you messing around with? local firewall? Anti-virus? The Firebird client does not use any service except the remote pieces of TCP/IP.

Other programs are IBExpert, Database Workbench, my programs (over ODBC). Connection string are not different in any way, all connection strings are saved long time ago as they are now.

OS is Windows Vista Bussines on my laptop and there is various servers, some running linux and some running Windows XP. Firebird is from 2.0.4 to 2.1.3. FbClient.dll that I tried are 2.0.5 and 2.1.3.

For example DBWorkbench give me exact message:
ISC ERROR CODE:335544721

ISC ERROR MESSAGE:
