This may or may not be helpful, but when one of our customers moved from Win NT to Win 2000, their Teradata DBMS no longer worked: _sometimes_. But sometimes it did! It was driving everyone crazy.
This turned out to be because Win 2000 added an operating system service that tried to use the same port that Teradata did. If that service happened to run first at bootup, it grabbed the port, and Teradata didn't work. But if the Teradata service ran first, it grabbed the port, and it worked fine. (Apparently the Windows service, if it couldn't get its desired port, grabbed a different one, but Teradata was hard-coded to only one port.) This may not be the problem in your instance (IIRC in our case no one could connect to Teradata, even from the server), but perhaps something on the network is trying to use port 3050. I'm not familiar with Firebird, but if it can be easily reconfigured to use a different port, perhaps you can try that and see if it resolves the problem?
