Are you sure Firebird is bound to a non-localhost IP-address? Check the
value of RemoteBindAddress in firebird.conf (if using SuperServer or
SuperClassic) with Classic you need to check the (x)inetd configuration
(I think).

Or check to which address(es) port 3050 is bound using netstat -lt; it
is likely only bound to 127.0.0.1 (and maybe [::1]).
