Tom,
   
  The port number is immeterial. Will not affect 
  your accounts .. it is just a channel of communications.
   
  What is critical is to make sure that ibc allows 
  you to change the port number.... I have not used it for a while so I just do 
  not remember. TWS does allow you to change ports. 7496 and 7497 would be fine 
  ... just verify that ibc will co-operate.

    Ara,
     
    How do I know which ports to use. Now I am 
    using port 7496 for both. What port should I change the paper trading AB and 
    IB to? I don't what to change my real account because I may lose some money 
    if I mess around with it.
     
    Thanks,
    Tom

      Use 2 installations of AB. You need to deferentiate the port address of 
      TWS 
so the two don't get mixed up.
(I beleive ibc allows you to 
      choose the port number - you need to verify)
