declaring source port with compiled executable

Post by sideshow »

Is there a way to declare a source port with the compiled executable from the client side? It seems to pick random ports between 3000-4000. I am using the destination declaration default of 5500.

thanks.

u would not be able to do that under any circumstances. if you are using the client side i am assuming that you are using the viewer to connect to the server. the client side will port always be asssigned by the OS randomly on which you have no control.

what do you have in mind ? what is causing to ask this ? are there firewalls blocking outgoing connection ? please give more info and i and others will be able to help you more properly

yes, I am having a problem with a client firewall. And I would like to be able to declare a source & destination port for the connection attempt to see if I can get around it. The destination port can be set in the config file before compiling the file, but apparently there is nothing in place to declare the source port.
