Check and make sure that you have one and only one version of gds.dll
on the search path of your machine. Check also that it matches the
version of the server(s) to which you are trying to connect. Have you
tried to diagnose the connection with IBConsole?

Uninstall, not forgetting to manually delete registry keys for both
Interbase and IBConsole. Check to see that gds32.dll has gone from the
machine completely - do a full search. Reboot, double check to see
that everything has really and truly been removed from the machine.
Reboot. Reinstall Interbase using the defaults for *_everything_*.

Get latest IBConsole from codecentral and run that.


That's about all I can think of at the moment. I have to warn you
though, I did come across a similar problem at an IB install that I
did once. Just couldn't get one client machine (the boss's) to connect
using IBConsole. Eventually had to tell him that for security reasons
he had to do any IBConsole stuff at the server itself.
