Yup. Same as terminal services since that's what it is.

How can I know what port a specific software uses?

Will the command "netstat -a" give me the info? Most probably will, but is there any simpler way of doing it, instead of reading all the info that command gives (and trying to find the software connection on the list)?

Even if I use netstat, in the case where I have a firewall blocking the program, I will not even come to the point where the connection is listed ... but then again, the firewall log should be able to give me the blocking software/port/...

Google. The answer to about 95% of the questions asked on this and pretty much any BBS.

For common ports: TCP/IP Common Ports

If you, or who ever is on the computer to be ?Controlled? find it to hard or you have problems setting it, this is just as good and much easier to set.
