Thanks Helen for the response.
I made sure1. Registry does not have any firebird related keys that are
pointing to firebird 1.5 or anything else. 2. echo %FIREBIRD% does not print a
value3. firebird.conf has below two lines. Only line changed was the port from
3050 to 3070#RemoteServiceName = gds_dbRemoteServicePort = 3070
Raninstsvc stop -name secondservice
instsvc stop -name DefaultInstance
instsvc r -n secondserviceinstsvc install -auto -superserver -guardian -name
secondserviceinstsvc start -name secondservice
Services are up and runningtelnet -a confirms service is listening on 3070
port.
isql localhost/3070:C:\test.fdb -user SYSDBA -pass masterkey worked for me yay!!
Thank you for pointing out the difference between service name/instance name

Did you open that port in the firewall?
Port 3060 is likely to be a bad choice (a) because it could be in use by
another application, or even by Fb 1.5 as its RemoteAuxPort (for events) and
(b) it's never a good idea to use a low port number because the high risk of
conflicting. A better choice is to use a number in the 10000 - 49000 range,
e.g., 13050 or 30500.

The protocol is
localhost\3060:employee
The name that you devised for the second server instance is *not* the same as
the symbol represented by RemoteServiceName. They are two totally different
things. If you had assigned a different RemoteServiceName (such as e.g., fb_db
instead of gds_db, the symbol for port 3050) then you could use that symbol in
lieu of the port number. The port number is the right one to use in your case,
as it will override any service port name symbol.
Check the firewall and open the port if necessary. Test whether you connect
using the correct protocol. If not, then redo your RemoteServicePort assignment
using a higher port number. (You could also look in firebird.conf in the Fb 1.5
server installation to see whether it has earmarked port 3060.)
