Firebird and Interbase never could and can access a database that's on a
network drive (as seen from the machine were the server is running).
So does the embedded server.

Let me quote the release notes:

1. GENERIC INFORMATION

The embedded server is a fully functional server linked
as a dynamic library (fbembed.dll). It has exactly the
same features as the usual server and exports the
standard Firebird API entrypoints.

2. ISSUES AND LIMITATIONS
2.2. Database access

Only true local access is allowed. The embedded server
doesn't have any support for remote protocols, so even
access via "localhost" won't work.


I think a database on a network drive can't be judged to be a "true
local access"

So I think what you're trying to do is just impossible.
