all ports being used

[Rick]

i've tried 50 (yes I counted) different port and all of them are being
used. Is there another way to find a port than individually checking
each and every port number from 1024 - 49151?

If you open a command prompt:

1. start -> run

2. type cmd into the box without the quotes

3. Run the following command:

netstat -an | find /i "listening"

This will show you all ports that are in use.  Sample output from my machine:

  TCP    0.0.0.0:135            0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING

  TCP    0.0.0.0:445            0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING

  TCP    0.0.0.0:5357           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING

  TCP    0.0.0.0:6783           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING

  TCP    0.0.0.0:8080           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING

  TCP    0.0.0.0:8081           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING

This tells me that ports 135, 445, 5357, 6783, 8080 and 8081 are in use.
