How do know which which ports are open on a Windows PC? I need ports 177/UDP and 6000-6006/TCP open for xdmcp "-query". (Or so I understand. I can't find any clear instructions on this.)
At cygwin shell prompt I enter "netstat -na |grep 600*" I get this: UDP 0.0.0.0:6000 *:* UDP 0.0.0.0:6001 *:* UDP 0.0.0.0:6002 *:* ..etc.. "netstat -na | grep 177" returns nothing. I get the above responses whether my Windows firewall is on or off. Also, why does netstat say UDP in the above responses? I specifically enabled these ports as TCP in the Windows firewall configuration screen. I configured port 177 just like ports 6000-6005. But it never shows up in "netstat -na". Why? Do I have to reboot the computer to activate changes made in the Windows firewall configuration? Come on, there must be a Windows networking expert out there somewhere? thanks, -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/%22-query%22-not-working-on-cygwin-windows-tp22007087p22254511.html Sent from the cygwin-xfree mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
