Just a little correction to my message. Where I wrote firebird.conf, I
should have written aliases.conf.

Hello:
I use Firebird 2.1 and in some computers I cannot open a database file
which is in the local hard disk.
For example, let's suppose I have the database C:\Test\MYDATABASE.FDB
and I try to open it with IB_SQL (from IBObjects).
If I use C:\Test\MYDATABASE.FDB I get "unavailable database".
If I use SERVERNAME:C:\Test\MYDATABASE.FDB I get "unavailable database".
If I use \\SERVERNAME\C:\Test\MYDATABASE.FDB I get "unavailable database"..
If I modify firebird.conf creating the alias
MYDATABASE=C:\Test\MYDATABASE.FDB, then using MYDATABASE I can open
the database.
In almost every computer with any Windows version (XP, 7, 10, 2003,
2008, 2012, 2016) I can open the database using every one of the four
methods, but in some computers the first three methods return
"unavailable database" and I can open the database only using an
alias. Now I am having the problem in a computer with Windows Server
2008 R2 Standard with Service Pack 1, but I remember having this
problem in other computers from time to time.
Any ideas of which may be the reason? ... and the solution?
Thanks in advance. Regards
Eduardo
