Author dbbackup failed

I try in vain to launch dbbackup utility from a client but the connection
failed:
c:\dbbackup -c " eng=serveur_name;uid
=dba;pwd=sql" c:\backup
It says that the database serveur is not found.
It works only if I launch it from the serveur.
Thank's for your help.

Can you connect to the database using dbisql with the same connections
string from the client?

Trying specifying the host machine in the connection string for dbbackup. If
the client is not on the same subnet as the database server or the router is
blocking the broadcast of the database server, it's possible that the
dbbackup utility cannot find the server.

c:\dbbackup -c
" CommLinks=tcpip(Host
=123.456.78. 9;Port=2638);eng=ser
veur_name;uid=dba;pw
d=sql"
c:\backup

Replace the 123.456.78.9 with the appropriate IP Address of the machine
running the database server.
