InterBase supports TCP/IP for all combinations of client and server platforms. Additionally, InterBase supports NetBEUI on Windows server platforms and for all Windows clients, and a local connection mode (involving inter-process communication but no network interface) for Windows clients.
InterBase is designed to allow clients running one operating system to access an InterBase server that is running on a different platform and operating system than the client.
"Windows server platforms" refers to the supported Windows Server versions. "Windows non-server platforms" refers to the supported Windows versions designed for personal computers.
For a list of supported Windows and Linux versions refer to System Requirements/Prerequisites.
