When referring to a network or to the Internet, a software or network port is a
location where information is sent through. A commonly used and accessed port is
port 80, which is the http port. A listing of commonly known and used ports can
also be found on the below listing. Users running Microsoft Windows can utilize
the netstat command to view currently active connections that include ports
currently being used.
Users who wish to block ports on their computer or network can use a software or
hardware firewall. If you are unable to get access to a particular port it's likely that
a firewall is already present on the Network or other network settings set by the
administrators have been setup.
