Hi Vlad,

Thanks for the information! I will try to figure out why it didn't work here - it must be the tunnel then or me doing something wrong. Nobody's perfect :)

Poul

Do you got any error message ?

> Are you insinuating that it is indeed possible and the problem lies elsewhere in my setup? In that case I should be able to solve it. But I assumed that it was the fbsvcmgr that would not allow it since e.g. the connection to a firebird database via the same tunnel software works perfectly fine.

fbsvcmgr is usual client application (as all other utilities) and can't allow or disallow something ;)

Sure, i tried it and it works of course.
