How can I connect to a BlackFish Database in another PC - delphi

I am trying to connect to a BlackFish database in another machine using win32 dbExpress 4 database driver.
Server is start in both machines, local and remote.
Database is up in both machines local and remote.
--- UPDATE ---
this is my configuration:
"devmobilWRK" is the remote machine.
This is the result of the test Connection:
Both machine have the same port - 2508
I have delphi 2007 installed in both machines

Jlouro, you must read the Embarcadero documentation about connect to a remote or local Blackfish server.

Connect to a ODBC DSN installed on a server

I am developing an application in Delphi 10.2.3 which connects to a Firebird database installed on a machine running Windows 2016 Server. The application also connects to QuickBooks Online using a third party ODBC driver. Since this application must be accessed by 12+ users in my company, it will not be cost effective to purchase and install individual ODBC drivers for each user.
The provider of the ODBC driver has a version which can be installed on a server. Is it possible to configure an ODBC DNS connection on the server which I can access from network clients? If not, can anyone suggest a workaround.
Server vs Workstation ODBC driver usually has to do with licensing not connection method. It is always running on the same machine as the software using the connection.
Web application used by many users running on a server connecting through an ODBC driver = server licensed version of the driver.
User loading data into Excel on their computer through an ODBC driver
= client / workstation licensed driver.
Some databases, for example SQL Server, can do a database link through an ODBC driver. This is linking / exposing another database to querying from a host database server. This would allow you to share one server licensed driver. The clients would connect to the host database.
One such driver is DevArt's ODBC Driver for QuickBooks which has a help topic on creating a linked database and testing it in SQL Server Management Studio / SQL Server: Using in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). Might not be applicable if each user needs to use different credentials for the QuickBooks connection.

Connecting to Firebird 3

I have installed Firebird 3.0.1 on a PC and on a VM client. I installed Flamerobin on both to test the connection.
I can connect to localhost on both PC and VM using Flamerobin, so I assume the Firebird server is running on both and Flamerobin is installed on both OK
I can connect to the Firebird server on the VM from the PC and open a database Ok
From the VM I can open a database on the PC, but when I try to retrieve the server version on the PC I get an error ISC_Service_attach failed (Unable to complete network request to host).
I have no idea what the problem is given that I can open a database ok, but cannot access any of the utility services.
I am using fbclient.dll 3.0.1.32591 on both VM and PC
If you can achieve network request to server, you need to check firewall setings on server and set fb default port as inbound acceptable. If you would had same problem after that, than you probably need proper fbclient library, for FB3 on client, VM. Hope this helps.

TeamCity 9.x Setting up an External Database with unnamed(NULL) MSSQL instance

I'm evaluating TeamCity 9.0.4 and using HSQLDB.
Now trying to setup MS SQL Server 2014 as External Database.I don't have a named instance(NULL).
So I tried the following connection URL
connectionUrl=jdbc:sqlserver://<host>:1433;databaseName=<database name>
connectionProperties.user=<user>
connectionProperties.password=<password>
When I trying to load the build server I'm getting this message.
TeamCity is starting
Continuing attempts to connect to the database
TeamCity server is connecting to MSSQL database. The database server
is not started yet, or the connection properties are not properly set.
And also I checked the log file, this is what I got.
[2015-05-20 14:08:34,513] INFO - jetbrains.buildServer.STARTUP -
Current stage: Continuing attempts to connect to the database
SQLSERVER is up,I think there is a problem with connection URL.
What can I do to solve this.
TeamCity 9.x Documentation Setting up an External Database
Thanks DevOps.
My mistake, I was testing TeamCity locally.
Problem was with the SQL Server Network Connection.
TCP/IP was disabled for SQLEXPRESS
Enable TCP/IP for SQLEXPRESS
Open SQL Server Configuration Manager
Go to Protocols for SQLEXPRESS under SQL Server Network
Configuration.
Right-click on TCP/IP and choose Properties. Set Enabled = YES.
Better check this too, click on IP Addresses tab and find the section
IP All. Set TCP Port to 1433.

Want to connect to local database from java application on server

I have a local Ms access database in a local computer connected with internet with dynamic IP. And I have a java web application running on web server. How can I connect to Database in local pc with dynamic ip from the java application running on server
You would have to serve it from the client machine using either a local web server or a VPN tunnel.
Possibly a better idea (I mean, anything sounds better than connecting to a client-side DB, right?) would be to have the client upload the database (depending on the size) and then connecting to the server-side copy.

Visual Studio 2010 and discovery of advantage server error

I installed VS 2010 on a Windows 7 64 bit machine. When I try and connect to an advantage database through the server explorer using the Advanatage OLEDB driver I get a cannot discover advantage database server error. I can connect to the database using the ARC just fine. I was able to connect in VS 2008 just fine. Any ideas on why I can't connect in VS 2010?
If you are trying to connect with "local server", then be sure that your connection string contains "ServerType=ADS_LOCAL_SERVER;". If using Advantage Database Server (remote server), then this link might have some ideas that help. It discusses various ways to provide the IP address and port number if discovery is failing. For example, you can include the port number in the connection path: \\servername:6262\path\dictionary.add.
