Problem: Unable to complete network request to host "server_name". -Failed to establish a connection. -unknown Win32 error 10061 Solution: This error is thrown when there is no open socket listening for remote connections on the server. In InterBase version 5.0 we have changed our licensing model so that the server functionality is broken down into 5 different types. Key Name: Function: Server Activation Activates the Server for (1) user Metadata Allows Database Metadata manipulation Client Capability Allows the server to connect to other InterBase Servers or itself (loopback) Remote Access Allows clients to attach to the server Simultaneous User Regulates the number of remote clients that can connect to the server at the same time. 'Remote Access' license must be installed for this to work. Often times, users installing InterBase version 5.0 do so being used to the v4.x licensing methods and dont know that all the licenses must be installed for full server functionality. In the case with the error message above it is the 'lack of' the Remote Access license that causes the error. To remedy the problem, simply install the 'Remote Access' license and STOP and RE-START the server process. RE-STARTing the service is required for any license changes.
