Hi,

Is it possibly to connect to Firebird v 2.1 database using XNET local protocol?
In TIBConnection are only SPX witch are no longer supported, TCP and NetBEUI.

Regards,
Macma

Hello,

The point is that the XNET protocol is a local protocol. In Firebird 2.0, implementation of a local protocol was switched from IPServer to XNET. To use XNET protocol, you should leave the TIBCConnection.Server property blank, set the TIBCConnection.Options.Protocol property to TCP, and work at least with Firebird 2.0.
