Re: [Firebird-odbc-devel] ODBC Connection

Which setting do you use for the VM network?
NAT or Bridged? If I remember it right, NAT will not
Work, because VM and Host will have the same ip.

OK, after further searching and testing, apparently you still need to direct

the ODBC connection to the firebird client, which means it needs to be 
installed along with the ODBC driver, something I didn't know.

What was throwing me off when testing, if you put the client location in and

test the connection, it works. However, taking out the client location by 
deleting the entry, the connection still works so MS must be storing the 
location somewhere even though I removed it from the form. The only way to 
clear it is to totally exit the ODBC settings dialogs without saving 
anything. The next time you go to create a connection, you have to put the 
location in again the first time for even a local connection to work.

Now, on to my problem of connecting to a remote server (my main computer) 
from a client (in my VM). I seem to have lost my link totally now since even

IBOConsole won't work. Undoubtedly, my problem isn't related to the ODBC 
setup but rather has to do with my own internal issue.

Thanks all for listening and helping. Having never tried to use ODBC with 
Firebird, this was very enlightening for me. (I will post further if 
resolving my internal issue doesn't fix the problem.)
