Thanks Ben, My biggest problem has been trying to connect to Interbase. There is nothing blocking it in the /etc/hosts.deny or /etc/hosts.allow files. I didn't know about these files until a minute ago when I read a couple of other posts from a couple of other nice folks on this list. There is an entry for it in the inetd.conf file. When I connect using isql (a little query client that ships with Interbase) from a Win2k machine, here is the output: <isql> SQL> CONNECT CARTER:/opt/interbase/examples/employee.gdb; Statement failed, SQLCODE = -902 Unable to complete network request to host "CARTER". -Failed to establish a connection. -No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. </isql> I get the same result with the Linux version of isql except the last line says "-Connection refused" instead of "-No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it." but that is basically the same as far as I am concerened.
