[Firebird-devel] Connecting to Firebird on different ports: something is wrong.

[Martijn T. <m.t...@up...>]

Hi developers,

I'm running Fb 1.5, RC7 on two machines, my local machine and
a remote server.

On the local machine, I'm running it next to InterBase 7.1, and so
Fb runs on port 3055 via the config parameter:
RemoteServicePort = 3055

On the remote server, it runs on default port 3050.

I can connect to the local server via the syntax
MARTIJN\3055:e:\...path to database.dat

Fine.

However, I cannot connect to the remote server, using syntax:
MEDIA:c:\...path.dat

And I cannot use it as MEDIA\3050:c:\... either.

However, if I remove the "RemoteServicePort" line from the
fb config, I'm able to connect to the remote server again.

Am I doing something wrong here? I thought that the parameter
should work on the SERVER only and not influence the client,
right?

With regards,
