Can't connect to firebird when proxy is running

Hi,

I can't connect to the firebird 1.5 server on the same machine when a proxy server is running.

The error is:
Unable to compelete network request to host "localhost".
Failed to establish a connection.
The system couldn't find teh entered environment options (translated from german).

SQL Code: -902
IB Error Number: 335544721.

When I uninstall the proxy server everything works just fine. Unfortunately I need the proxy server to be installed on the same machine.

Is there anything I can do?

Thanks,

Anton

Does a simple "ping localhost" work?

Yes. "ping localhost" works.

Everthing else is working too. I have MS SQL-Server running on the same machine, to which i can conntect to without any problems.

I also tried replacing localhost with the the IP-Address, with 127.0.0.1 and the machine name without success.

Anton

is there no firewall as well?

I turned the firewall off for testing purpose. Without success.

As soon as i uninstall the proxy server everything works just fine. Without any other modifications.

The support team of the proxy server said, that the database server has to be configured to listen on another IP. Is this possible? Or did they only want to direct the guilt to someone else?

Anton

does your proxy run on the same port?

firebird runs on port 3050
you can try a different port if your application can switch ports.

maybe this helps

I can't switch the port in my application for connecting to firebird server.

The support of the proxy server said that the proxy is catching all request on localhost. But this sounds a bit odd, since i can access a MS-SQL-Server on the same machine.

In proxy configuration the following ports are configured: 8080, 2121, 1080, 110, 25.
