I opened the port, and now I can connect to the databases.
However now I’m getting an error when connecting. It says that the database is already open (with the IP address of the connecting computer). Even though it is being opened for the first time. I can still go ahead and click continue past the message, and work with the database.
Any idea how to get rid of this message?

We use a program called Ascent, that uses Firebird server to open the .fdb database files that this program creates.
The databases can be either on the local computer, or on a network share.
We have a user in a remote office. He was using a Windows 7 computer with a network share to store his databases.
Regarding the Ascent application we are using. When accessing a remote database, from within the program you designate the IP address of the computer , and then the path to the database from the server’s perspective. i.e. “C:\database directory\database.fdb”
I upgraded the Windows 7 server computer to Windows 10, and now this program doesn’t work. The client computer program tries to connect to the server database, but it times-out.
We can still see the network share in Windows Explorer just fine, so it can’t be a rights issue or Windows sharing problem.
The user can open databases stored on his local PC with no problems.
Disabled anti-virus but that hasn’t helped.
Prior to the upgrade: when opening a database on the server, it would show the path in the application as “<server IP address> c:\database directory\database.fdb”
Now it shows the path as “<server IP address> <server IP address>c:\database\database.fdb”
The server and client were running Firebird v 2.1. I upgraded to 2.5, but the problem is still there.
Any advice appreciated! If you need further info, please contact me.
