IBOConsole does its own, application-specific "registration" of databases
for its clients. Your application can't access that...

Does the remote client have 'server3' set up in its HOSTS file? (On Win98,
this file is in the c:\Windows directory.)

Have you tried pinging server3 from the command console of the client machine?
