[Firebird-net-provider] Problems connecting to a Linux FB database

[Chris W. <cfw...@ad...>]

Hi-

I am trying to connect to a Firebird Database running on RH 8.0 Linux =
from a
C# client app on an Windows XP machine without any luck. My connect =
string
looks like this:

this.fbConn.ConnectionString =3D
"Provider=3DFirebird.Net;Database=3D/usr/local/firebird/examples/employee=
.gdb;Us
er=3DSYSDBA;Password=3Dqo97KZnZ;Dialect=3D3;Server=3Ddelllinux;Port=3D305=
0";

The app sits for a long time, but eventually I get the message Object
reference not set to an instance of an object.

I am able to connect to this database from Interbase Workbench =
successfully
using the same path, user info, etc. The delllinux server name is mapped =
to
the correct ip in my hosts file on the XP box.

Any assistance you can provide to resolve this problem would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks.
