Run netstat -an from the command line on the server and make sure port 3050 is listening (you should see something like 0.0.0.0:3050 as the local address and 0.0.0.0:* as the foreign address).

Is that setting changed in the /etc/firebird/firebird.conf file or a different configuration file? I have not made any changes to the xinetd configuration.

Have you checked that Firebird is listening on the external IP address
of the server (192.168.254.42 according to the screenshot)? As far as I
recall the default xinetd config of Firebird Classic on Ubuntu only
listens on 127.0.0.1 (localhost).
