Check out http://www.robertgraham.com/pubs/firewall-seen.html#1.

It's a BIG description of firewalls and what you see in the loggs. But it
also explains what standard ports are commonly used.

Hope this helps, Göran

Cardyin,

Thanks this sounds like a good posibility.
Do you have a suggestion on picking a port? This is going to (hopefully) be
rolled out to multiple different clients, and I do not know what ports to
use.
Questions:
1) Where can I find a reference to Ports that are available to use. (I.e.
not used by ANY Windows functions by default)
2) Can I programatically poll what ports are in use, so my setup program can
determine if there is a conflict, and pick a different port?
