Re: [Firebird-devel] Strong request for 1.5: Stopping FB trying to access port 3050 when server is local

[<me...@in...>]

I have multiple network interfaces. When I connect my Firebird server at
127.0.0.1, it makes a secondary connection using one of my LAN interfaces
(for event notification?). It works fine if the LAN interface is not
firewalled, but lot of people use firewalls. There is no such problem with
Interbase 6.0, only Firebird does this.
