Using portmapper is a security hole, even inside a corporate network.

If people does not know the port, then they can ask :-)

>> Hi,
>>
>>
>>
>> We just installed ARS Server 7.5 on a Windows Server 2008. We
>> installed it to use Portmapper, but when trying to login using User Tool,
> we get:
>>
>>
>>
>> Error [90]  Cannot establish a network connection to the AR System
>> server
>>
>>
>>
>> We are able to ping the server from the local computer so there's a
>> connection between the comp and the server.
>>
>>
>>
>> Since we are using Portmapper, is there a way to find out which port
>> ARServer is listening to? I tried to run netstat -a on the server but
>> it gave a lot of results and i don't know which port is actually being
>> used by ARServer.
