Subject Database Workbench v3.4.4 Lite - failure to connect
Author Michael Ludwig
I'm trying to connect to any of my Firebird servers using Database
Workbench v3.4.4 Lite, Firebird Edition.

C:\Programme\Firebird :: netstat -ano -p tcp | findstr ABH | findstr 305
TCP 0.0.0.0:30515 0.0.0.0:0 ABHÖREN 2512
TCP 0.0.0.0:30520 0.0.0.0:0 ABHÖREN 560
TCP 0.0.0.0:30521 0.0.0.0:0 ABHÖREN 2896
TCP 0.0.0.0:30525 0.0.0.0:0 ABHÖREN 3996

Yes, I've got four of them, all fresh downloads, all running on my XP
Home SP3 box - you can guess the versions by looking at the port
numbers.

I can connect to all of them just fine using any of the isql.exe
utilities installed on the same box. Which is where I've installed
DBWB as well. All I've so far been able to extract from this utility,
however, is a message along the lines of:

Unable to complete network request to host "localhost".
Failed to locate host machine.
Undefined service 30525/tcp

This is for the following "Server Registration Properties":

* Alias: fb25
* Host: localhost/30525
* Protocol: TCP/IP

Plus authentication data, of course.

I can ping localhost just fine. Using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost
yields the same result. And it's the same for Firebird 1.5, 2.0 and 2.1.

What am I missing?
