You need to use tcp/ip. This involves some configuration on the client
machine so that it has the IP address and name of the server in its hosts
file. This stuff is in the firebird documentation - get the Quickstart
Guide from the ibphoenix website - a French version is available.

In ibo, remove ALL of the database params. Instead, set up these properties:

Server - place the host name of the server (e.g. "Serveur" or whatever it is)
Path - place the absolute path to the server, as seen on the server, e.g.
C:\databases\Mydata.fdb
Protocol - select TCP_IP
PasswordStorage - select psNotSecure
User - type SYSDBA
Password - type masterkey

In the FormCreate of your datamodule (assuming your database object is
IBODatabase1):

if not IBODatabase1.Connected then
IBODatabase1.Connect;
