Unable to complete network request to host

Authors list

For the specific message of "Unable to complete network request to host <ServerName>.  Failed to establish connection."  

Context: The program is trying to communicate with the server through a port to use the Firebird Service to connect to the database.

Causes listed in order of suggested troubleshooting:

  1. Firebird service not running. Make sure the firebird service is running on the server.  This service was installed by the LPX program to run automatically at startup
  2. No network connection to the server (network adapter has no IP address. This can occur if using wifi but not server connected to a server)
  3. Anti-virus firewall blocking Port 3053
