[RESOLVED] Listening a port and so on

Hi all,

I felt that this is right forum to ask this question.

I'm weak in my knowledge with ports and stuff. So I want to learn them, may topics like follows.

1. Open a port on a PC
2. Listen a port on another machine
3. Change the post
4. etc..etc...

Hope it's clear what I'm expecting.

So please can you guys/gals give me a help to do this. Any links or comments really appreciate.

Thanks a lot...

And what programming language will you be using?

I'd use winsock for this if you are using VB 6 or the Sockets class if using .NET.

Since this is a programming question depending upon which you are using the thread will be moved. :)

Basically I'm working on with standard C++. But actually I'm asking it in general way. Say like this, I want to know what are the listening ports from my PC. So what I have to do is, on command prompt I have to type netstat, and it gives some informations.

Since you are using C++, the best place to get a relevant answer would be the C++ forum. We can move this thread if you like.

No Rob, at the time this is enough. I'll check it later. Thanks.
