First thing to try is that you can actually connect to daedalus:3051
The easy way of doing this is to open a command prompt window and enter
'telnet daedalus 3051' ( note the colon is not used here! )
This will either give an error message or a blank screen - If a blank
screen then hitting 'enter' a couple more times should give you
"Connection lost to host"

This will establish that Firebird IS running on 3051. If you get an
error, try 3050 to see if it is still using the default port ;)
