Visual basic & firebird DB (in unix machine)

hi guys, one project in VisualBasic: i have this part of code which is workin' very fine on a local machine :

Dim cn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim sConnStr As String
sConnStr = "Provider=ZStyle IBOLE Provider;Password=masterkey;User ID=SYSDBA;SQL Dialect=3; Logging Level=0;Silent mode=True;Character Set=WIN1251;Data Source=" & App.Path & "\T20060428_Total.gdb"
cn.ConnectionString = sConnStr
cn.Open

how can i connect with this db through the network if it's located on a unix machine? someone please help me.
many thanks in advance.

Never ever used that driver, but network connections through Firebird ODBC driver work fine.

code sample would be nice. thanks

You can find code samples with the odbc driver, see the sticky thread for download link (or directly from here)

thanks, so here is the code for who is interested:

Dim cn As New ADODB.Connection
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim sql As String
Dim sConnStr As String
sConnStr = "Provider=ZStyle IBOLE Provider;Password=masterkey;User ID=SYSDBA;SQL Dialect=3; Logging Level=0;Silent mode=True;Character Set=WIN1251;Server=192.168.0.78;Data Source =192.168.0.78:/DATABASE/TIME_DBS/T20060504_Total.gdb ;Uid=root;Pwd=saert2"
cn.ConnectionString = sConnStr
cn.Open
