I noticed unexpected behavior when running a network analyzer on our
WhatsUp server today.  When WUG performs a port interrogation, it is
creating two sockets simultaneously.  For example, when polling our SMTP
server, there were two sockets opened to port 25 on the mail server.
One had a local port of 1550, the other of 1551.  Both were opened
within milliseconds of each other.  

If I telnet to port 25, the trace only shows one socket opened, thus it
seems to be a WUG issue.  WUG is running only in console mode, not as a
service.  The icon is only on one map.  We are running WhatsUp version
6.02. 

Any clues or details on exactly how WUG checks ports?

Thanks,
