Jürgen and joanmarcel119,
Again, thanks for your input.
Firstly, I don't use IB's ports simply because we may (and do) run multiple TWS's on the same machine.
I bought up another TWS on the same machine and tried to assign port 9707.? TWS refused it and said it was in use, which it wasn't.
I ran? netstat -ano -p tcp and port 9707 did not show up.
I think it's an IB problem, not a "network" problem.? It appears IB doesn't think it "let go" of the port.
I'll guarantee you when I re-boot the machine this weekend and assign 9707 to the "offending" TWS it will work.
This is not a big deal (now) to me since I'm up and running.? I consider myself a trader first and a technician second, but it does intrigue me.
I'll keep you posted.
Thanks, as always, Be Well,
Lou Dudka
