[FX.php List] Ports

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Bob,

Let’s be super clear about what test you are reporting.

As a base test, I suggested you direct a port scan at my server (FMS12 with WPE) to confirm you are getting the desired port results.  You should be seeing the desired 16000 range ports I just repeated the scan using another tool:

16000/tcp open  fmsas
16001/tcp open  fmsascon
16012/tcp open  unknown
16016/tcp open  unknown
16020/tcp open  unknown
16021/tcp open  unknown

If you are not seeing the same results using my server as a base test, then you have other issues to deal with before looking at the client server.

Just trying to help.
