Yes, I bind to a port, for example 9001, and 9001 is placed into the packet as the destination port, but the source send port is in the 2000 range. This appears to be a bug, and is easily reproducable with only a few lines of code. Even example code from the MSDN. I tried the same code on XP or 2003 server platform with the same results.

Why does VB.NET UDP sockets send data on random ports?. If I set a simple socket up to transmit a UDP packet on a port, look at the packet with a sniffer, the actual packets source port and dest.port are diff. The packets destination port is correct, but the packets source port it is actually sent from is random. Why? How can I figure out the actual source port windows is using, not what the vb.net socket is fake reporting?
Thanks BUC
