This might arise from the following reasons:

a. Firebird not installed in main PC/Server

b. Invalid IP address of main PC/Server

c. Firewall has blocked the port number (3050)

d. Windows system filed has altered to other port number (eg. 3999)

To check the port number set other than 3050

1. Run the command prompt.
2. Type netstat and hit ENTER key.
3. Local address will be ended with 3999. See screenshot below.
