title: Firebird: Unable to complete network request to host
body: <p>I'm trying to connect to a remote Firebird database "test" (alias already added). It is not an embedded server, and is installed on VM with IP 192.168.1.147.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my connection string:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>User=sysdba;Password=masterkey;Database=test;DataSource=192.168.1.147</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>However I got an error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FbException (0x80004005): Unable to complete network request to host "192.168.1.147". ---> Unable to complete network request to host "192.168.1.147".</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I've done some research on that but haven't got a clue yet. Some help needed. Thanks</p>

  <p>My IP address is 192.168.2.108, and I can ping that server IP successfully</p>
