RE: Port 5000 and Windows XP

In your Network properties, there is a service, or client installed
called Service Advertising Protocol, which is associated with UPnP,
announcing and listening for connections.

Subject: Port 5000 and Windows XP



I had reason to look at a Windows XP box and discovered port 5000 open
on 
it.  Subsequent research has shown that this is normal (albeit stupid).

However, when I connect to port 5000, I get an "HTTP/1.1 400 Bad 
Request".  Also, fport /ap shows port 5000 open, but will not associate
an 
application with it.  Am I overly paranoid or has this box been 
compromised?

Thanks
