----------------------------------------------------------
An event is posted via a random port not 3050, unless you set the
following in the firebird.conf file. This can cause issues with
firewalls.

>From the firebird.conf file

#
# The TCP Port Number to be used for server Event Notification
# messages. The value of 0 (Zero) means that the server will choose
# a port number randomly.
#
# Type: integer
#
#RemoteAuxPort = 0
