I have a customer who wants to connect to our database using the odbc
connector on his machine. What ports need to be open besides 3050 in order
for the ODBC connector to connect to the Firebird Server? I'm able to
connect fine with windows firewall disabled but connection fails with only
port 3050 open.

Cheers,
Ken

Hi Ken,

There is only one port required to be open for connection to succeed - and
by default this is 3050.

The problem is likely with the firewall rule. This link has some details
about setting up firewall in WinXP SP2.

Maybe try testing with some simple client (such as telnet command line
utility) connecting to port 3050 and see if it connects when firewall is on
and configured. If not, try tweaking the firewall rule untill connection can
be established.
