How is this done?

Here at work we have an app that is using a plug-in that notifies the user (via a popup window) that some one has attached to there PC (Shared files). I am courious how this is done and if it can be done in .NET? Any one do this before?

Just how many ports are there? (I am not that familiar with network stuff.. Just learning..

65,535 ports in Windows. There is a particular port for Windows File and Printer sharing, but I can't remember what it is at this time, something like 445.
