I picked up soeme code in the borland.public.delphi.database.sqlserver forum which allows one to find MS SQL Servers on a netowrk from within a Delphi app. without using any of the MS SQL Client Network libraries. Is there any way of doing something similar for finding Interbase SQL Servers?

As for the tool... Did you ever take a look at Database Workbench? ( www.upscene.com ) It works with InterBase, MS SQL Server (and MSDE), Firebird and MySQL. The same user interface for all engines. -- With regards, Martijn Tonies Database Workbench - developer tool for InterBase, Firebird, MySQL & MS SQL Server.

If IB is listening (on port 3050!) you will get connected, just disconnect and assume it's an IB server...... works for me.

I have not worked with sockets at all, so I am a bit at sea. Do you perhaps have a code example that i might use?
