Russell,
You've very likely on the right track regarding the reason for the
"connection rejected" message. However, don't overlook the effects of
the new architecture. The "windows local" style of connection,
a.k.a., "serverless", now requires the prefix "xnet:\" before the path.
If you stick with just the path, or your connection object is
configured "cpLocal" what you now get is the embedded engine. A live
connection that used a serverless path string will block any other connection.

I haven't (so far) done any rigorous testing with IBO over Fb 3 and
not at all in the IDE. However, I certainly bumped into this problem
when I first tried to use IB_SQL with Fb 3 and the old-style
connection string while simultaneously connected with isql.

Also, I have neither a recent Delphi nor a recent IBO, so I can't test
how Jason is handling the revised protocols.
