Connecting to Firebird 3

I have installed Firebird 3.0.1 on a PC and on a VM client. I installed Flamerobin on both to test the connection.

  1. I can connect to localhost on both PC and VM using Flamerobin, so I assume the Firebird server is running on both and Flamerobin is installed on both OK

  2. I can connect to the Firebird server on the VM from the PC and open a database Ok

  3. From the VM I can open a database on the PC, but when I try to retrieve the server version on the PC I get an error ISC_Service_attach failed (Unable to complete network request to host).

I have no idea what the problem is given that I can open a database ok, but cannot access any of the utility services.

I am using fbclient.dll 3.0.1.32591 on both VM and PC

If you can achieve network request to server, you need to check firewall setings on server and set fb default port as inbound acceptable. If you would had same problem after that, than you probably need proper fbclient library, for FB3 on client, VM. Hope this helps.
