title: firebird c# connect to a remote db
body: <p>I am working on some existing project and I am trying to make it go from many firebird databases on the client end to one server based database.</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately I am having some trouble with the connection string.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to connect to a .fdb file on a remote server?</p>
  
  <p>Currently the code is as follows: </p>
  
  <pre><code>var builder = new FbConnectionStringBuilder
          {
              Database = @"C:\test.db",
              ServerType = FbServerType.Embedded,
              Pooling = isPooled
          };
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have read some examples about how it can be done like the below but its not working:</p>
  
  <pre><code>FbConnectionStringBuilder(@"Database=192.168.1.235:C:\share\test.fdb;User ID=sysdba;Password=masterkey;")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It still connects to just the local directory C:\share\test.fdb. As that is not my ip address. Any help?</p>
