If
the problem is TCP related, you can test it using ping.

Try (at console mode)
ping sugba
or
ping 192.168.1.3

Next, you have to make shure the server responds on port 3050. Try telnet it on port 3050. If it can not connect at that port (it will not give any message if he can) you know the problem it's the port.

Last, if "so far so well", you can have other problem on the server that other program is using port 3050.

Subject: Re: [IBO] Connecting a Windows Client To Linux Interbase Server


Try rebooting the PC first. Your version of windows may only read this file
at boot-time.

If that doesn't work change the second line to
192.168.1.3 sugba

Drop the rest of the line. I'm not sure that windows likes that.
