View Full Version : Application and Service Port listening acting differently

Hello all -

We have written an application that listens on a specific port (TCP 5205).
We can do a netstat -a and see that it's listening on that port (as well as
telnet to it).

However, when we turned it into a service, it no longer listens on that port
(ie - not showing up in netstat, or can we telnet to it).

Windows Firewall is turned off. We tried starting the account with a local
service account, as well as with the domain user account that is an Admin to
this server. In both cases, it did not listen to that port...

Any ideas why this is happening? We have this service running on other
servers in other client sites without problems.

Thanks!
