Check the INTRBASE.LOG file on the server. Is there an entry there? If not,
then the problem is in the connection itself and Borland's Communication
Diagnostic tool (Delphi C/S) can be a great help.
There are two distinct ways to connect, NetBEUI (e.g. "//phoenix/mydata.gdb")
versus TCP/IP (e.g. "PHOENIX:mydata.gdb") with slightly different setups for
each.
If you do find a cryptic-message and there IS an INTRBASE.LOG file, then you
will usually find several more lines of infinitely-more-descriptive
information in that; information which never appears on the end-user screen.
