I've got a network application that listens for DICOM (medical imaging) communications on TCP port 1025. I used TCPView and saw that System.exe is listening on that port, so my application cannot use it.

A network application that does not allow you to override the default port is poorly written.


I'm not sure what System.exe is using port 1025 for, but I need to determine if there's any way to make it change the port it's listening on so that port can be used for another application.

Windows is using a loop back TCP connection for something, and I don't think you can do anything about it since Windows allocates ports starting at 1024, and as far as I know you cannot change that starting port number.


I've configured DCOM to use ports 3000-3004 in the registry using the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Rpc\Internet\Ports value.

Thanks,
Wade
