Forget the port number. If your other side is trying to depend on the port number, please redesign it. You cannot count on the port number being free, so your other side must be able to deal with the port number changing. For that matter, the IP might change after a reboot. Or even without a reboot: IPv6 temporary addresses change about once a day. Since you can't count on the IP being fixed, port numbers don't identify anything. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center
