I have just rebuilt an application server test bed using basic interbase express components (connex to Firebird server), a provider on server side and cds with socket connection component on client side. Used to work perfectly!
Now I am repeatedly getting a Windows socket error 10060, which is a connection timeout from the API. This happens when either trying to run the client or when attempting to assign the ServerName property of the TSocketConnection component. If I use a TDCOMConnection component, when accessing the servername property all my installed application servers are present and able to be accessed as they should. Also, I am running the Borland Socket Server at the same time and using D2006.
Am at a loss as to why this is happening and what has changed since I last ran this (couple of months ago I think). Any help or thoughts on this would be much appreciated.

lack of local host ip address. Sometimes it is only the simple stuff.
