Thank Wilfried, thats explains a lot. When the server listen to port 2500, and the socket port start increasing from 2000. Do I get in trouble when it comes finaly to port 2489,2499..2500 the same port where the server is listening, or is this handled automaticaly by the socket that the increasing port will never be the listening server port ? To explain more: my program get every 10 seconds an incoming client, get the command, then close again. And I see the port increasing fast, what about a limit ? can I reset the portnumber?, it's a black hole for me.
The client has port 2000. When the client change his port to 2001, is there a way, when connecting to the server to retreive the clients actual port address?. I must know this port because I need to contact this client back on an other WSocket. Ofcourse it wil work fine if the client don't change his port number.
