Yes, you're right, my mistake, sorry.

But still there's something wrong (maybe not with IBObjects, I can't
say really...)

a) When not specyfying the port in connection string, everything
works fine.


b) When specifying the service name 'gds_db' like:

DatabaseName := 'localhost/gds_db:c:\mydb.fdb';

The connection succeeds (Protocol = cpTCP_IP).


c) When specifying the port number 3050

DatabaseName := 'localhost/3050:c:\mydb.fdb';

I get an ISC error message

ISC ERROR:
Unable to complete network request to host 'localhost'
Failed to locate host machine.
Undefined service 3050/tcp.

Any idea why? In '..system32\Drivers\etc\services' file there is an
entry
gds_db 3050/tcp

in Firebird.conf the
RemoteServiceName is gds_db
RemoteServicePort is 3050
I'm telling this just to show I believe there should be a connection
on port 3050. I also couldn't check all this with remote connection
yet...



So why can't I connect when specifying the port number? Is this a
problem related to IBObjects or what's wrong?


Thank you for any idea
A.B.
