Re: TCP Port 1025 used by Win2K System.exe. Need for another appl

Thanks, but these references didn't really tell me anything I didn't already
know.

I realize that ports 1024 & 1025 are a somewhat lousy choice, but since I'm
replacing a legacy application, I don't really have an option here. This
choice was made long ago - back when Windows NT 4.0 wasn't using these ports.

I was hoping that Microsoft had enough foresight to provide a registry
setting to allow the Win2K to use other ports.
