The error 10054 is the equivalent of someone plugging and unplugging their network connection to the server while the server is working. You must get IT to fix that (switches, cables, NIC cards, etc.). AS resilient as Firebird is, this I/O error can mess it up.

Now, recommend that you do a Sweep, then a full validate (need to have exclusive access to the database) as well as Mend if it is called for (also with exclusive access). Note all the errors for future reference.

Then do a back up and restore setting the page size to no less than 4 and more than likely 8 kb, allocate around 8,000 page buffers,
restart your FB Service and you should be as good and clean as the database is going to get in a short time.

Hope this helps.
