Hans,
It probably confuses the issue - the diagnostics showed that Port 3050 was open.

AFAIK, the optional port parameter is needed only where you want the IB server to poll a non-default port, e.g. 3060 for InterServer or (as will occur in Release 1.5 or the all-new Release 2 of Firebird) there are optional ports. (Firebird-future will offer 3050 for "Borland compatibility mode" and 3051 for "native Firebird mode" giving access to new features). I think if you have 3050 closed by your firewall you can also open a different port, not clear about this though....

rgds,
Helen
