You can't.

As they should.

The embedded server on Windows is a single instance of Firebird
Superserver that is accessed by the client code that is compiled with
it. Like the full Superserver (and like Classic) the embedded server
must access databases on local drives, i.e. drives that are
controlled by the same host machine as the server. UNC locations and
mapped drives are not local drives.

It's not a Delphi question anyway; but there are forums for IB
Objects and FIBPlus, the two main Delphi interfaces to Firebird.
