How do know which which ports are open on a Windows PC?
I need ports 177/UDP and 6000-6006/TCP open for xdmcp "-query". (Or so I
understand. I can't find any clear instructions on this.)
At cygwin shell prompt I enter "netstat -na |grep 600*"
I get this:
UDP 0.0.0.0:6000 *:*
UDP 0.0.0.0:6001 *:*
UDP 0.0.0.0:6002 *:*
..etc..
"netstat -na | grep 177" returns nothing.
I get the above responses whether my Windows firewall is on or off.
Also, why does netstat say UDP in the above responses? I specifically
enabled these ports as TCP in the Windows firewall configuration screen.
I configured port 177 just like ports 6000-6005. But it never shows up in
"netstat -na". Why?
Do I have to reboot the computer to activate changes made in the Windows
firewall configuration?
Come on, there must be a Windows networking expert out there somewhere?
thanks,
