Connect Firebird Client to Server

Just started using Firebird with Delphi XE . Need help connecting to the server from the client machine.

I can ping the server, so there is a connection. but when I run isql.exefrom the firebird / bin folder to test the connection, I get "statement failed, sqlstate=08006, unable to complete network request to host geith -failed to establish a network connection". pinging geith works, so I don't understand this error.

My connection expression: Connect geith: geidata user sysdba password masterkey;

This works, and I get a connection on startup on the server, but not on the client machine. I made sure that fbclient.dllboth gds32.dllare in the windows / system32 folder.

I install the Firebird 2.5 client only on the client computer. I do not see it working as a process in taskmanager. Is there anything I need to do to start customer service?

Both are XP mach, Firebird SuperServer 2.5 , as well as the tempo taken from the firewall
