Yes. That's what happens when you have N browser tabs open to different web sites: all connecting to port 80 at different IP addresses. The issue with ports is only on the listen/accept side of the conversation. Modulo http.sys port sharing, only one process on a machine can bind to port N for a given interface (in your case, port 6001 on the listening machines). -Mike Bear Canyon Consulting LLC http://www.bearcanyon.com http://www.pluralsight.com/mike =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentorĀ® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
