1) netstat -an | grep 3050 --> Is firebird listening?
2) iptables -Ln --> Do you have any firewall rules or policies that
are blocking traffic?
3) telnet <your ip> 3050 --> Can you connect remotely?
4) isql --> try connecting locally to a db to make sure all libraries
are present...

not sure what else, but that is what i would do as a start to test
connectivity. btw, vmware server is now free and a lot easier to
install and configure then xen. that is what we use for our test
environment.
