Of course, clientes connect to the server. My mistake on the wording, sorry.

The firewall isn't enabled: it's a development machine, and SuperServer worked flawlessly in Snow Leopard, with Firebird 2.1.4.

I'm using flamerobin to connect to the database. AFAIK, it always uses the full connection string. Also, I'm using aliases (and have used before). Using it in a java application I'm working on (with Jaybird), where I know the full "servername:dbname" is being used also gives me the same error.

If I try to run "/Library/StartupItems/Firebird/Firebird start", as suggested in another thread, it also posts the same error on the log.

The message error is "INET/inet_error: connect errno = 61" (copied from firebird.log).

With the ClassicServer I am able to work without problems, now that I learned to set the file and directory permissions correctly.

Thanks a lot,

Guilherme
