I have found that if you know a port is not being used you can still rename a port to one of those allegedly in use and the rename will take effect after a restart.<br /><br />Julian, G4ILOAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11984840704237681015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2968254002071870786.post-52957480022320699032013-07-28T02:20:16.193-04:002013-07-28T02:20:16.193-04:00hi
