Here's another method, for reserving a single port so it's not dynamically
allocated. It might be a better solution:

  1.. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
  2.. Locate the following key in the registry:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

  3.. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry
value:
  Value Name: ReservedPorts
  Data Type: REG_MULTI_SZ
  Value: xxxx-yyyy
  The string uses the format xxxx-yyyy. It looks like this for just a single
port: "1080-1080".

  4.. Quit Registry Editor.
