[firebase-br] UUU - ISC ERROR CODE:335544721 - NFS - RemoteFileOpenAbility

Hi Willian

You can not use a network adress as a connection string.

You must use the following sintax:

Server_IP:Path\Database_Name

or

Server_Computer_Name:Path\Database_Name

Examples:

198.168.0.1:C:\MyPath\MyDataBase.fdb

or

FILESERVER:C\MyPath\MyDataBase.fdb


Forget about using Mapped drivers or Shared NetWork Adresses
