Using Firebird 3.0.1 on Windows 7, I noticed that an active wifi connection needs to be established in order to connect to localhost.

Without a wifi connection I get error: Unable to complete network request to host “LocalHost”. Failed to locate host machine. The specified name was not found in the hosts file or Domain Name Services.

As soon as I connect to the internet, I can also connect to the localhost (and my database).

But I do not understand this, the database is just on the hard drive of my PC so no internet connection should be needed.

I use default configuration files.

Any help please?

Kind regards,

Robert
