Then it sounds like you need to check your hosts file, and add a line
in there with the name of your machine (it can't hurt to make sure
there's a line for 'localhost' as well), viz:

localhost 127.0.0.1
serverbox 127.0.0.1

where 'serverbox' is your machine's host name. 127.0.0.1 is a static
loopback address which (should) always work, no matter what happens to
your physical Ethernet connection(s), or even if you had no network
card at all.

You haven't mentioned which operating system you use - the hosts file
is located in different places in different OSes.

In any case, I'm guessing that you have a networking/OS problem, not a
Firebird problem. If I'm wrong, I defer to... well, just about
everyone else on the list, actually...

Good luck.
