Re: port problem 50000 and 51000

you should be able to open(bind) to any port greater than 1024....,
whether they allow an application to run on this port is a different
issue..... but you have no need to bind specifically to 50000/51000, it's
only opening sockets to send outgoing connections....

if they are firewalling it, there is little you can do locally...

0x75,0x75,0x6e,0x65,0x74
