isc_attach() is the only way to attach to a database. The client library 
will parse the database name and call the relevant server. You need this 
format:

   servername:/path/to/my/database.gdb

None of the Firebird lists are for general support - they all 
concentrate on supporting internal development of the engine, or drivers 
etc. The ib-support list, hosted on yahoo, is a good all-round support 
list for InterBase and Firebird questions. See 
http://firebird.sourceforge.net/index.php?op=lists

for more info.
