• Well Known Ports 0 thru 1023 • Registered Ports 1024 thru 49151 • Dynamic and/or Private Ports 49152 thru 65535 So, rather than encounter a port conflict by choosing a port commonly used for another purpose (like port 25 for SMTP mail or port 448 for secure sockets), choose an ‘unusual’ port number. For example, add 50,000 to your house number: 50,123 is less likely to lead to a port conflict. -
