RPC question

[engineereeyore]

I created a program for maintaining class list using RPC. I created the necessary files, ran rpcgen, compiled everything and we're good. I'm running the server portion on a linux box but I can't seem to figure out what port it's using to connect. If I turn the firewall off, I can connect to it from a Mac machine. But with it on, I get blocked.

So, I've tried using netstat but can't seem to get any useful data out of that. Does anyone know exactly what port is uses? I set it up in the program to use UDP rather than TCP (this is just an assignment, so nothing critical).

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Even though they're now with Microsoft, Sysinternals tool are still 'da Bomb:

p.s.. Is this DC related?

There's a list of IANA registered port numbers I got online once. Grepping that for "rpc" returns several possibilities:

111/tcp SUN Remote Procedure Call
111/udp SUN Remote Procedure Call
121/tcp Encore Expedited Remote Pro.Call
121/udp Encore Expedited Remote Pro.Call
369/tcp rpc2portmap
369/udp rpc2portmap
530/tcp rpc
530/udp rpc
567/tcp banyan-rpc
567/udp banyan-rpc
593/tcp HTTP RPC Ep Map
593/udp HTTP RPC Ep Map
602/tcp XML-RPC over BEEP
602/udp XML-RPC over BEEP
1035/tcp MX-XR RPC
1035/udp MX-XR RPC
1633/tcp PAMMRPC
1633/udp PAMMRPC
2786/tcp aic-oncrpc - Destiny MCD database
2786/udp aic-oncrpc - Destiny MCD database
3347/tcp Phoenix RPC
3347/udp Phoenix RPC
3446/tcp 3Com FAX RPC port
3446/udp 3Com FAX RPC port
3479/tcp 2Wire RPC
3479/udp 2Wire RPC
3651/tcp XRPC Registry
3651/udp XRPC Registry
3954/tcp AD Replication RPC
3954/udp AD Replication RPC
9080/tcp Groove GLRPC
9080/udp Groove GLRPC
32769/tcp Filenet RPC
32769/udp Filenet RPC
42510/tcp CA eTrust RPC
42510/udp CA eTrust RPC

My best guess is 530.

Sweet. Thanks guys. I'll give 530 a try and see what happens. If it doesn't work, at least I've got some backups to try.
