I'm trying to run IB 6 open source on my Win2K3 SBS server.  I was 
successfull previously but something has gone awry now.

With the Interbase service running on the server I found I couldn't connect 
over my network via TCP/IP using IBconsole or DBWorkbench.  I get the 
following error in IBConsole:

Unable to complete network request to host "192.168.x.x".
Failed to establish a connection

I can connect over NetBEUI, though, but when I initially connect I get an 
error that says:

Operating system directive CreateFile failed.
The requested operation cannot be performed on a file with a user-mapped 
section open.

Uhhh.....no clue what that means and I can barely spell NetBEUI much less 
explain it.

But after clicking OK on the dialog, I can connect to and query the database 
just fine.

I used the Diagnose utility in IBConsole across the network and can ping the 
server (192.168.x.x), get a connection on ports 21 and 3050, use ftp and 
gds_db.  I just can't connect to the database via TCP/IP.

I tried connecting locally via TCP/IP using the 192.168.x.x address, the 
loopback 127.0.0.1 and localhost -- no luck.

Can anyone suggest any possible reason why I wouldn't be able to connect?  I 
regularly update the server with security patches, so that's always a 
possibility.

Also, on a completely different subject, anyone know what it costs to 
upgrade to IB 7.1 from 6.5 (I got it with D7 Arch)?

Chris

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Chris
