Ports

[ps2cho]

Hey guys, is there anyway to determine/find out what ports are being used on the computer? It is for server reasons and the specified port that im trying to use is not working for some reason and i know its beign redirected to another for WAN because it works over LAN.

Netstat -n doesn't do the job correct...

Ps2cho,

If it works over LAN but not outside your network it probably means either your router or ISP is blocking it.

Netstat is the only thing that comes to mind, but it only displays active connections. Like if my computer were hosting on port 80, unless someone is browsing around my site, it won't list.

Yea but it doesnt seem to show the ports right..

HLDS uses port 27015 generally.

it doesnt even show any ports into the 5digits at all..only 4 digits.

You can try Active Ports (http://www.download.com/3000-2085-10062969.html?part=65960&subj=dlpage&tag=button), it lists ports and the process using them.

Actually, netstat has an option to display all the ports used too. The command is netstat -a. Running it on my computer, it lists port 80 being used (and if I use the -b option as well, I see that Apache is using it) and in a listening state meaning that nobody's connected right now.

ps2cho: Glad that program worked for you. :) 5 digit ports seem to work with my netstat, so I'm not sure what would be wrong... :shrug:

That is also good :) Now i have two options.
