The default port for the client/server channel is 3050. Luckily for you,
the client is ignoring that invalid port and just passing to the next
source of inquiry, which is currently the firebird.conf configured port (if
it is not 3050) and after that, 3050 by default.
In order to use a different port - which will take precedence over all
other attempts to open the channel - both the client and the server need to
know about it. The server has to be listening on the other port (set this
up in firebird.conf or in the Services file, gds_db tcp/3055 or whatever
you have opened for the purpose. That done, you can either place a
matching entry in the client's Services file, or you can use the connection
string to designate the client port.
Incidentally, you are not going to get a high level of appreciation for
asking RC 4 support questions in any forum. RC 4 is an obsolete field
test. Firebird has released two further field tests since then. You
should get RC 6 - which is STILL a field test. You should address non-IBO
problems to firebird-support and suspected bugs to firebird-devel.
