How I define a remote DB server in TIBConnection?

How can I define database on other PC within Intranet?

I think I define something in HostName and DatabaseName.

Ping 192.168.168.101 is OK. But putting 192.168.168.101 or http://192.168.168.101 in the HostName property of TIBConnection does not work.

You say "Intranet"... to me that means Local Area Network with no firewall.

• Set HostName to the IP address.
• Set DatabaseName to the database alias (if there is one) or the full path (including file extension) to the .fdb file.
• Set UserName and Password to desired values (use the correct case).

It might be helpful to know the actually error message instead of "does not work".

HTH...

Hi dsiders,

Thank you for your comment. I checked myself, and I think my problem is networking problem. There are two PCs, let's say A and B. Database server is B, both are with Windows 10.
I can see the icon of B at A, but cannot connect to it even though I assigned one of B's folders as shared. But B can access A, if I enter the password.

W10 Firewall problems?

Not sure. I tried several ways that suggested on the Internet, but nothing was successful.
I have no intention to look into this issue myself right now. Finding someone else to solve this problem would be faster at several bottles of beer.
