I am trying to get Firebird database server running on my computer.
If I try to connect to the server in local mode (doesn't use IP at all), it works fine.
If I then try to connect with IP locally using 127.0.0.1 the connection is actively refused. Refused does not sound like a firewall. It sounds like your configuration of firebird, though I am not familiar with it. What interfaces is it listening on? What does your syslog say when it loads?
I do not have the openSuse firewall active. So I don't have any idea what is blocking it. I don't think it is being blocked, firebird is refusing the connection. If it was blocked, it would not be refused, it would just timeout since it would never connect. This is an Xen Guest (DomU), but I am not sure that has anything to do with it. I would suggest checking your Firebird config to see if you can determine what interface(s) it is listening on.
