HI
 
I've set-up a system where two applications on separate computers talk to each other using UDP.  I've bound both of them to a port number such as 4010.  I'm then sending data in a full duplex way across them.
 
The thing that's confused me now is a work colleague said they both shouldn't be using the same port.
 
Is he right? 
No, why?  Each of them is making a connection from a local port (that the OS chooses) to a remote port, which is 4010.  And it's above 1024, so it means that it won't clash with reserved ports.  I don't see anything wrong with it.  Or am I missing something?  You're having some difficulties in this setup?
