KB812873: How to reserve a range of ephemeral ports on Windows 2003

Posted by MLK under Windows Network, Windows Registry

Description/Problem:
This article describes how to reserve a range of ephemeral ports on a computer that is running MS Windows XP/200x. In some situations, you may want to reserve a range of ports so that a program or process that requests a random port will not be assigned a port that is in the reserved range. When you reserve a range of ports, only a program or process that specifically requests a port that is in the reserved range can use the port.
