[REBOL] Re: Opening Specific Ports
From: mattsmac:hot:mail at: 11-Nov-2003 14:38
Yeah, I'm sure it's usually a better idea to not bind the ports, but here is
my issue:
I'm making a client software for other users. I need to somehow limit the
ports that rebol will try to open on their computers so that their company
firewalls can be configured to allow access over those ports. Or am I going
about it the wrong way? Any networking gurus out there?

Hi Matt,

Well, too bad we can't seem to override it, but at least they're doing
what's recommended. One of the tricky things when you BIND your own
port is what to do if you have multiple instances of things and such.
