This sounds like the port is one received from the port mapper. The
communication is probabely a RPC based one where the port mapper (port 135
if I remember it correctly) is contacted first and then the rest of
communication is carried on using the port number allocated by the port
mapper on the server machine.
For more info, you can try to read about how the RPC communication takes
place.
Hope this answers your question.

Adel
