Firebird over a network

How do I access a Firebird database over a network?

I am using Delphi to run an application and am connecting to a Firebird database.

I want to be able to run the app on another machine and be able to use my database.

I have installed the client libraries on the other machine, but keep getting input / output errors.

Any help / suggestions?

Thank you.

Wissa

First try to connect from the command line with isql. this way:
Code:
C:\Programmi\Firebird\Firebird_2_0\bin>isql -u sysdba -p masterkey localhost:c:\
programmi\firebird\firebird_2_0\examples\empbuild\employee.fdb
Database:  localhost:c:\programmi\firebird\firebird_2_0\examples\empbuild\employ
ee.fdb, User: sysdba
SQL> exit;

C:\Programmi\Firebird\Firebird_2_0\bin>
And please remember, always post the error messages you get, something like

Note that an error like
Code:
Statement failed, SQLCODE = -902
I/O error for file "c:\programmi\firebird\firebird_2_0\examples\employee.fdb"
means that the path specified is wrong.
