Put the server name in the Server property, viz. MyServerName.

Put the path (local to the server) in the Path property, viz.
C:\mydata\mydatabase.fdb

Select cpNetBeui for the protocol you are using here (named pipes) or,
better still, select cpTCP_IP (it's less noisy than named pipes).

And note that the Windows "native" protocol is named pipes, not Windows
file-sharing. If you put a file-share or a mapped drive in the path,
Firebird won't recognise it. Filesharing is not an option. As for the
host name, the Windows TCP/IP service automatically uses the host's netBeui
node name as the TCP/IP hostname.

No need. Without modification, IBO doesn't know it from diddly-squit.
