They have any actual meaning only if there is some content. If all
lines are comments, then they don't matter.

I am not sure I understand you. These two packets were from another,
linux PC, right? If yes, then they're not relevant to the problem you
have with windows machine.

Perhaps they all use the same client library that may be the source of
the problem? Can you try with ordinary firebird client (or even
better, with another windows pc that has never had yaffil installed)?

My suspection is that the root is in the yaffil client library. Why it
did work for a previous firebird install (on 192.168.99.16) is a
mystery to me. Perhaps yaffil was changed inbetween too?

Rejecting all-null packet seems logical - similar to what you'd get
connecting to port 3050 with telnet and typing some random letters.
Now if we can diagnose where those all-nulls come from...
