I always set it manually.

This is odd, because by using localhost, the protocol should be
cpTCP_IP. Maybe there's a bug, although I don't see anything wrong in
IBO 4.2 code. Maybe there's been a change in the logic for IBO 4.3A.

This is as expected.

Read the release notes of FB 1.5, it's all documented there.

In relation to using different port numbers, that question should be
asked in the firebird-support group on Yahoo Groups. And, it has been
asked numerous times already, so you might try searching the group
first.
