No

Yes.

But WNET isn't TCP/IP! To use this syntax you will need an entry in
the host machine's ..\system32\drivers\etc\services file, so that
Windows knows how to resolve the connection, e.g.

gds_db 3051/tcp #Firebird server
override port

Then your syntax will work, because WNET will be able to resolve what
it is being asked to connect to.

If you don't want to override the gds_db port assignment, you can add
a new firebird port assignment without touching gds_db:

fb_db 3051/tcp #Firebird server
override port

Then, just connect the Firebird clients like this:

\\SERVER1@fb_db\C:\Data\Mydatabase.fdb
