Re: Open Port on Win98 box

Are the windows boxes from the same image? If your not worried about information
leakage you could install a sniffer and watch all tcp/udp traffic on that port.

FYI I didnt see anything in RFC 990 assigned numbers.

Hi!

We found an open port number 13991 on all Win98 boxes installed. The
port is listening on addess 0.0.0.0 (means to all).

What software does this port reserve? And what is it listening for?


Not on mine, at least not according to netstat.  TCP or UDP?  Do you
have Win98 SE? (I don't.)  Is there perhaps some 3rd party application
that is running on all of your Win98 machines?
