ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture provide the ability to determine a port number for a network connection. An Internet Protocol (IP) address of a server is determined. Based on the IP address, a first number is determined. An interval value is added to the first number resulting in a second number to be used as a port number. The interval value is repeatedly added to the second number if the second number is not available for use as the port number.
