Finding a Program's Local Port

[PerfeK]

I have been trying to set up the traffic shaping feature on my IPCop router but I can't even find the local ports of many programs. Some of them even seem to use different ports everytime I use them. Is there a program which can tell me?

I am trying to find the local ports for the following programs:

Azureus

Ventrilo

Battlefield 2

XFire

Skype

iTunes

There are a lot more programs but those are the more important ones. Can someone please help me out?

Plenty of programs will use random high ports (>1023). That's how most non-services should work. 😉

You just need to run a network monitor program to monitor your ports while you use the program you have in question. There are several out there that are freeware or shareware.

you can also try just dropping to a command prompt in windows and typing netstat -b

since I dont' know exactly what you are looking for, I suggest you go to a freeware/sharware search site like tucows and just search for network port monitoring and find one that features the type of info you like. There are literally hundreds of them.

fport, but any good program should use random ports.

fport does kick ass

or type netstat -a into a command prompt
