HI!
A few days later my IBserver 6.01 (w2k) hangs.
The service does not respon to new connections.
Can=B4t stop then service. Still stopping.=20
I wait until 10 minuts to decide root the server.
I need to go to client house.
This is the situation:
1)The client use a firewall. Only 3050 port can be
oppened to my server.
2) My server not have a firewall (not installed yet)
therefor, all ports are open. I use w2k and ib 6.01 and
tested with Firebird too.
3) The software developed by me, use events registered
in server to run some porcesses in client (post_event
SQL command).
4) Well, I discover tha when The client register the event
in server, the server iniciate a connection in other port,
like 3749, in this case. This second connection are
dropped by the firewall.
5) Since the IBServer service not respond ever more, not
iniciate new conections in any other base.
6) If I stop the service, they stil "stpping" forever. I wait
more then 30minuts to decide reboot the machine

In other connections with ADSL I had the same problem
(ibserver freeze). I think is the same origin problem.

My solution was eliminate post_event from by base and
applications...

Is not really a good solution!
