This problems sounds almost like you have two different alias.conf files. I
normally use the embedded FB client in the program directory so I can switch
to local easy if testing on a machine without FB installed or running. That
means I have an alias.conf file in the program directory when running
locally and one in the Firebird directory when running over TCPIP. Could
this be a problem for you as well?
