You certainly are doing something wrong. fb_inet_server.exe is the
__server executable__ for the Classic server. The client doesn't use
this. You need the two files gds32.dll and fbclient.dll. Copy them into
the system directory of the client after renaming or otherwise disabling
any gds32.dll that is already there. As an alternative, if you don't want
to disable an existing gds32.dll, you can put the two Firebird client
libraries into the same directory as your application's executable.

Better still, run the installer on the client machine and choose
"client-only install" and then you will get the right pieces.

And READ THE RELEASE NOTES !!!!!!!
