Number of ports?

How many ports are there on a Window machine? Isn't it somewhere around 64,000?

Thanks

I think it's 65536 (2 ^ 16). It may be 32768 (2 ^ 15), or 65535, but I foget.

I think it's around that 600000000000000000ith ranage (ignore some of the zeros if you like)

2^16 TCP ports and 2^16 UDP ports per ip address. This is TCP/IP, not specific to Windows, so it's the same on any OS running TCP/IP.
