We use a program called Ascent, that uses Firebird server to open the .fdb database files that this program creates.
The databases can be either on the local computer, or on a network share. We have a user in a remote office. He was using a Windows 7 computer with a network share to store his databases. Regarding the Ascent application we are using. When accessing a remote database, from within the program you designate the IP address of the computer , and then the path to the database from the server's perspective... i.e. "C:\database directory\database.fdb" I upgraded the Windows 7 server computer to Windows 10, and now this program doesn't work. The client computer program tries to connect to the server database, but it times-out. We can still see the network share in Windows Explorer just fine, so it can't be a rights issue or Windows sharing problem. The user can open databases stored on his local PC with no problems. Disabled anti-virus but that hasn't helped. Prior to the upgrade: when opening a database on the server, it would show the path in the application as "<server IP address> c:\database directory\database.fdb" Now it shows the path as "<server IP address> <server IP address>c:\database\database.fdb" The server and client were running Firebird v 2.1. I upgraded to 2.5, but the problem is still there... Any advice appreciated! If you need further info, please contact me. David A.
