It always fails after a certain time. The fail is using easy SQL

I have tested several like:

local
c:\program files\ramat\ramat.fdb
f:\ramat.fdb
f:\ramat.fdb and host=localhost

remote:
f:\ramat.fdb and host=portatil

I fact, I have tested a lot of paths, units and hosts

I have tested a lot of paths

Yes, some Firebird 1.5 installations have been done in new and clean
PCs.
