Connect to remote DataBase

[HRsoft Informática]

Dear Friends
I'm new with asp.net.
I have a asp.net 2.0 application hosted in a ISP, that don't permit instal
of Firebird database.

I need this application to access a firebird database that is installed in a
Windows 2008 Server in another place, ie, in my local network.

This is for test only, but I intend to create this app to real clients that
has another win32 app that uses the database in local network

I created in No-IP a host, that redirect to 3050 port (used by firebird)
In the router I created a portforward to ip (machine) that has the firebird
and database instaled
I use the follow ConnectionString in web.config:

<add name="SilojaNetFB"
connectionString="User=SYSDBA;Password=masterkey;database=c:\silojaw\ibo\HRMERCADO.gdb;DataSource=http://silojafb.no-ip.com;Port=3050;Dialect=3; "/>

When run the application, I get error.
Can you help me?

Thanks

I am not sure how Firebird works. In general, however, you cannot attach to
a file on a local drive remotely:
c:\silojaw\ibo\HRMERCADO.gdb

Based on what little I have found out there, it appears that your connection
string should be more like:

connectionString="User=SYSDBA;Password=masterkey;database=HRMERCADO.gdb;DataSource=http://silojafb.no-ip.com;Port=3050;Dialect=3;"

But I am not sure the DataSource is correct here. You may have to change to
IP address instead:

connectionString="User=SYSDBA;Password=masterkey;database=HRMERCADO.gdb;DataSource=10.0.0.2;Port=3050;Dialect=3;"

Here is an excellent site to bookmark for when you are having problems with
connection strings:

Thank you for your response.
In local network, works ok.
But when the application try to connect with another network, via Internet,
not.

It could be a port is being filtered and the database cannot be reached. I
would look at the firewall on the database server side.
