You should follow three rules:

1) Run Firebird as service
2) Check the "Allow interaction with desktop" option (sorry, I
have only a german version here, so the wording of this option
might differ) for the Firebird service
3) Use a TCP/IP connection, even when it is a "local" one, e.g.
localhost:c:\data\data.fdb

If this doesn't help, then come back again with a more detailed
description of your environment (operating system, Firebird version,
install procedure of Firebird, connection path, ...)
