What port does X11 traffic use?

[MGMorden]

I run an X11 server on my Windows machine (XWin32) in order to bring up Windows from the Solaris labs on campus. The problem is that I now have a firewall on my machine that doesn't allow any outside connections. Could you guys enlighten me on what port X11 uses so I can allow incoming traffic on that port?

Its a range of ports. 6000-6007 I think...

Thanks. After I put 6000 in my search (just x11 and port was pulling up way too much off topic stuff) I found out that it's 6000 + whatever server # you're using. I always use server 0 on my machine so just opening port 6000 seemed to work fine. Thanks again (gotta do some programming and I just coulnd't take it if I had to resort to mingw32).

X11 can use ports in the 6000-6063 range.
