Have you tried using FPort to determine which process is listening on port 10000? It's a Foundstone Tool. That would probably go a long way to help determine why they are listening there.

Does anyone know what port 10000 is used for. All my research says VPN type applications. We are running 10+ 2000 servers here, NO VPN, and 85% of them are listening on this port. TCP only. You can Telnet to it, but it recieves all your data, and never sends anything back. It will not close the connection either. If anyone has any info that would be great. ITs not a huge deal, that port is blocked by the firewalls ;) I would just like to know.
