IBClient is the client side install.  Needed on all clients.
IBServer is the server and contains the client also.  Needed on the server only.
InterClient - JDBC driver
IBX - InterBase Express, a set of native component for directly accessing
InterBase (get the 4.52 update from the IBX downloads page instead of this one
if you are going to use it).
IBConsole - a management/design tool for InterBase.

Install IBServer on your server, get the latest copy of IBConsole (located on
CodeCentral).  Install the client on any machine that needs to access the
server.  Check the docs for any special configuration you might want to do.
