Hello all,

I have a problem with win 2k. One tcp port which is used by one of my installed application got blocked.

I have no clue why and which application actually blocks it. Therefore, if you have any tips how I could find out why the port is blocked. Please let me know.

Cheers to all and thanks in advance.

How about not being so ambiguous. What application? What port?

You are right, I should have added those in my previous post.

The application is rational clearquest and it uses port 27000 for retrieving the license file.

Thanks.

start -> run -> cmd -> netstat -a

Hi,

I tried netstat -a, port 27000 was not listed. Does that mean that the port is not open?

I have also done a pping to the license server with port 27000 and I do not get a reply.

There is no firewall activated as far as I know so how come the port is blocked ?

Thanks in advance.

netstat -a will show you what connections are open to your computer.. if something is running and listening on the port.. it should show in that list

Do you have a firewall running, windows firewall, zone alarm.. anything.
