How does your create database command look like ?
Did you use computer name in connect string ? e.g.

CREATE DATABASE 'localhost:C:\DB.FDB' USER 'SYSDBA' PASSWORD 'masterkey';

If you are new to Firebird, I would recommend (like with any other software)
to start with default settings for everything. In this case you should install
superserver version, which accepts (unlike classic) just bare filename too.
