I have a proprietary software on two different internal networks. on one the client-side software can access the server, and the second network, they can't.
I have no real clue which ports are needed,
1. What's the best way to find out? will telnet x.x.x.x port# work?
2. Does one side (server) have to be listening on a port to be able to detect that it is open? If it doesn't listen, than requests end up no where. right?
3. For Window share ports (nmbd,smbd), is it possible to check with the telnet method? What's a good way to check these?
Thanks for any information regarding any of the above,
PS: both networks are able to ping the server IP where the server-side portion is located.

My recommendation would be to put a software package sniffer on both and attempt to connect. You can then filter by 'outgoing.' Depending on what OS these are on, there are different ways to do that.
You'll see the initial handshake from one box's IP to another, and from there open that first port. Then repeat the whole thing, and you'll see what the other box responds on.
If these are Windows, you can use Wireshark; Linux - tcpdump.
To test to see if the port is open you can run the telnet test, but you will first need to ensure the other server is listening on that port, probably with the nestat command.

Thanks, found the ports. IT Dept is blocking them. It's their problem now.

netstat is a useful tool to find out this sort of information too, and it is part of Windows and Linux so doesn't need installing on either system, although as is often the case where Windows has copied a *nix tool the *nix one has more features.
However it lists all open sockets and if the are listening or connected allong with port numbers and IP addresses and can also resolve which program opened them.

Hi,
I'm writing a program which requires the use of three serial ports and
one parallel port. My application has a scanning devices on each port,
which I can access fine with pyserial. However, I'm unsure of how
exactly I should be designing the program, I thought I could use
threading to start class:

I recently got some help with code conversion that i used in vb6 to block a

Hello all,
I am working on an application that is basically a bridge between
oscommerce and gallery2 software, with some other functionality.
It will allow users to port all of their media from gallery2 into
oscommrce, complete with rights definitions and watermarking.
I have spent a lot of time on this application, and I am thinking of
selling it as part of a bundled package with creloaded and gallery2.

Good evening,
I have a C software for Windows that I need to port to Redhat Unix. At
the moment it works completely fine with the Windows FLOSS compiler
lccwin32. I try gcc but now it doesn't work :(
There seems to be two serious problems, one operator overloading and the
other the safe String type. Is there a compiler for Unix with these
advanced features, or what's the best way to port them across?
