This guy can listen and respond on whatever port you want. Also very handy for measuring available bandwidth... :)
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Network-Tools/Network-Testing/Network-Speed.sht ml Network Speed [Version 1.40] Calculates the network speed (transfer rate) between two winsock hosts. The syntax of this command is: netspeed /H:host|/S[:n] [/P:n] [/M:n] [/C:y|n] /H:host : Client mode, host=name/address of a machine waiting in server mode. /S:n : Server mode, n=# of times to answer before exiting, default is 9999 /P:n : n=Port number, default is 7777. (Both client & server must match) /M:n : n=Megabytes to transfer, default is 10. (Only valid in client mode) /C:y,/C:n: y=The data sent will be compressible; n=Not compressible (default).

I am looking to prove the network team wrong.. The firewall looks to be configured wrong, but they keep blaming my server. I am looking for an application to run on a server, that would open a network port and respond to a port query. Thinking that something like a telnet server, assigned to answer on a non-standard port would work, but don't want to install IIS, etc. on the server to do it. Any ideas? ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
