I telnet sugba 3050 is this correct? How will I change the port in
conflict to do it succesfully? No connection. telnet sugba, telnet
192.168.1.3, etc no problem though. I login to the server using user
name SYSDBA and password masterkey which is root equivalent
in Linux.

I tried all those other suggested above. Still no go. I thought port
3050 is reserved for Interbase on the Linux server? I have this entry
in the services file of my Linux server which I think was appended
upon installing Interbase:

gds 3050/TCP

I am running the Interbase Windows server on my client Windows
PC since I develop the application most of the time on Windows
instead of the Interbase client. Could this also be the source of the
difficulty of connecting my Delphi application to my Interbase
database on Linux?

Thanks a lot,
