I am not sure if Windows Server 2008 and Firebird 2.0.4 are compatible;
AFAIK Windows Server 2008 was released *after* Firebird 2.0.4. You might
want to try upgrading to either 2.0.6, or 2.1.4.

I think a more detailed description of the problems would be helpful.

In my opinion, this error (connection reset by peer) is usually a
symptom of problems like program crashes, network problems or maybe a
virusscanner/IDS closing the socket (or of sloppy programming where
connections aren't closed before exiting your program); and not actually
a cause of problems.

I would advice to also consult the Windows Event log on both server and
client, check if a virus scanner or IDS is installed (server, client or
network appliance!) which closes sockets if there is 'too much' traffic
(I believe NOD32 does this).
