Hello Helen, thank you, does the ping usually work in the station
with the server3 I didn't only try still to configure HOSTS because
I had already gotten to connect before without using HOSTS, it would
not be possible to connect without depending of this file? I intend
to distribute the application and the more easy it goes to
configuration in the stations it would be better. How could I create
a connection the same to the of IBConsole? Since he works so well
would not it be best then to use the form that he uses?

Thank you

Juarez
