IBX or IBO?

By default, Win 2003 doesn't open any ports in the firewall. Open at least
port 3050 and, if you are using events, open at least one more. You can
open a specific port, e.g. 30050, and configure RemoteAuxPort = 30050 in
firebird.conf.

There is an issue for using Firebird 1.5 with very old IBO versions. If
you are using IBO 4.2.-something, make sure to configure the server with
OldParameterOrdering = 1.
