Hi

I am running an app on my PC that connects to a database on my firebird
server FIREBIRDSERVER

The path is \\FIREBIRDSERVER\E:\DB.FDB

If my pc has an E: drive (ie I plug in a usb) I can connect to the database.

If my pc has no E: drive then I cannot connect to the database and get
the error - unable to complete network request to host "e"

Why does it matter what physical drives I have on my local machine? Is
this a quirk or design (I am no DBA expert)

Regards
Tony
