Why do I always get an empty value for the IP and PORT fields when connecting to the FRED servers in Datafeed Toolbox 7.11 (R2010b)?

When I create a connection to the FRED servers, the IP and PORT fields are empty.

The PORT and IPADDRESS inputs are no longer required when connecting to the FRED servers. These are left over inputs from older codes and are present currently only for code compatibility.
