It's been a while since I did socket programming but if you setup your
socket as follows:
InetAddress localAddress = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
int localPort = 5000;
Socket sock = new Socket(destinationAddress, destinationPort, localAddress,
localPort);
System.out.println("Socket: " + sock.toString());
you can specify the local address. The method getPort() retrieve's the
socket's remote port. You should try getLocalPort() on the client to get the
socket's local port.

Hi,
Anyone knows how in socket programming to make a client connects to a server
with specific local port ?
I mean if the server provides port 1000.. i wanna make my client connect to
the port 1000 in server side using port 5000 in client side.
I have been looking in the Socket class in the API but looks like no method
for that.
I was trying to use Socket(InetAddress address, int port, InetAddress
localAddr, int localPort) in client side. I use 5000 in the int localPort.
But when i try to print.out what port that the client using in server side
using Socket.getPort() method, i got diffrent value. Its not 5000 but others
and always changing everytime i restart the client.
Is there something that I missed ?
