Article #25383: I just installed IB v5.0 and I cannot connect from my remote clients

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.
