1. With Windows 7 you probably need to configure the IpcName parameter in firebird.conf. Currently it is set to

Remove the # and preface it with "Global\", as in
IpcName = Global\FirebirdIPI
You'll need to restart the server.
2. If your database is located under ...\Program Files\ you might be bumping into a Windows 7 rule that forbids access to files in that area from a local shell. If you can't move the database then you'll be stuck with a tcp/ip connection.
3. Is it Classic server you are running? In Fb 1.5 you cannot connect to Classic using the IPC local connect.
