Roger, that's a very good answer. But it holds only half of the
solution. Matthew Finkel gave the second part: open TBB, check the
network settings and there one will find the elusive port. Could someone
with access to the FAQ put an extra paragraph on how to locate the
random port? After all, maybe the port is better left floating around
instead of the fixed version.
