¿Are you using Firebird2.5 with Windows 8 (64bits)?
Because this is my configuration and I can not connect in any way to the Server.
I am really stack into real mud.
Thank you for any help.

ZEus,
I have executed a (C:\dir gds32.dll /s) and a [C:\dir fbclient.dll /s] and I have found that
there is a file (gds32.dll) in (c:\Windows\SysWOW64) in my laptop.
I have not found any (fbClient.dll) in my hard disk.
Can you tell me, again, what to do now. I trust you more wise than myself.
Any way I have copied GDS32.DLL into C:\Windows\System32 (my pc is Win8 (64).
Now error changes to: "Unable to connect request network to host: LOCALHOST:3050".
Mind you I am working in local. It's all I can say now.
Thank you.

Zeus,
Yes, I'm using TIBDataBase where I am trapped.
I have been looking for "dgs32.dll" inside Windows. Result? Doesn't exist.
Then I tried with "fbClient.dll". There are 2 of them 854KB and 540KB.
Should I change their name? Is there anything I can do?
Thanks, bulc.

Add. I have uninstalled both InterBase and Firebird. Then I reinstalled Firebird_2_5 (64bits). Then I trie to connect to the database.fdb file. Error again. This time slightly different: "Unable to complete request to host: LocalHost:3050".
Any hints?
Thanks.

Sorry to go back to your replay. I find that error when trying to connect to Firebird.
I'm using Delphixe3 and trying to connect using: IBDatabase, IBTransaction, DataSetProvider,
IBQuery, ClientDataSet and DataSource.
I wonder if you can tell me which of those has got the same property as SQLConnection, so I can try to save this nasty problem following your advice:
--> SQLConnection.Params.Values['VendorLib'] := 'fbclient.dll';
I am new and don't know much. But I must say I got another computer with the same Delphi Version and it works fine ever. The only difference being that the bad one has Windows 8 (64) and the other windows 7, 32.
Can you lend me a hand,
Thanks from Ibiza.
