Have you checked whether sDest has anything in it on the problem machine?
If you are sure about it, then try modifying your connection setup, as follows:

with IBODatabase1 do
begin
if Connected then
try
Disconnect;
except
// handle the exception as appropriate
end;
if not Connected then
begin
DataBaseName := nil;
Params.Clear;
Server := sServer; // name of server's network node
Path := sDest; // should be absolute path as seen on the host server
Protocol := cpTCP_IP; // or cpNetBeui
Username := 'sysdba';
Password := 'masterkey';
Connect;
end;
end;

The format of the Path string has to be correct for the protocol.

It is not clear *what* works on your pc. For example, are you doing a
local connection on your pc, while the customer is doing a remote one? Are
you simply connecting and disconnecting, while your customer is trying to
disconnect while a transaction is busy? Or what?

Note that Disconnect won't work if the client program is still executing a
query. This includes the case where you opened a large dataset and there
are still rows waiting to be fetched from the server.
