static client remote port

Hi,

Sorry if it is a basic question but I dont find the answer in the doc and I'm in a hurry.

How can I define a static client remote port?

I have a server listening in port 10000, and when a client connects, I can see the connection information as (Java):

System.out.println("INFO:" + __current.con.toString();

It give, for example:

local address = 150.1.0.25:10000
remote address = 150.1.0.87:1113

I must know before connection the remote client port (1113).
So I need to define this port statically in the client.

It is possible?

Thanks.

Hi,

No, it's not possible. The port number for the client connection is selected by the operating system and can't be set through configuration.
