Well-Known TCP Port Numbers

In TCP/IP and UDP networks, a port is an endpoint to a logical connection and the way a client program specifies a specific server program on a computer in a network. Some ports have numbers that are preassigned to them by the IANA, and these are known as well-known ports (specified in RFC 1700). Port numbers range from 0 to 65536, but only ports numbers 0 to 1024 are reserved for privileged services and designated as well-known ports. This list of well-known port numbers specifies the port used by the server process as its contact port.

These are the only "well-known' ports I know of. Guess I should have stated "well-known by ME".[bigsmile] sorry. Does anyone know of such a page?
 
OH! and Thank You!!!
 
Here's a star for both of you, but why didn't you post this in the TCP/IP forum as well? (Or did I miss it?) Good going either way.

Thank you everyone, I really thought this MAY come in handy for a FEW users, but I am finding a LOT of Q's out there about ports and such. For those concerned about Blaster and such...
(Quote)
I had to deal with one machine that had the RPC service knocked cold by the worm, but no actual infestations of the Blaster payload. The victim was a Windows 2000 box serving as a router for a small network, and subject to dynamic IP addressing, so I couldn't get the box patched until I was able to obtain the current address. Even an RRAS box using NAT is wide open to attack unless packets are specifically being filtered in order to stop all processing of traffic on affected ports, not just routing. The port numbers relevant to Blaster are as follows:

TCP:
135
139
445
593
4444
UDP:
69
135
137
138
This is a shining example of why the Windows Update concept isn't well thought out on a large scale. When a major incident like this occurs, many users actually can't obtain patches in a timely manner due to the overload. I literally could not apply critical updates to two servers yesterday, although I had already manually downloaded and installed the RPC patch that protects against Blaster. The majority of users don't know that a manual update is available or where to obtain it, so they simply try the update later... perhaps too late.

Right now, you occupy a point where three lines reach across the expanse of time and space and intersect only there, and that you and only you possess.
 
I have read some of his/her Tips in the TCP\IP forum as well. He/She should put this and the webpages in an FAQ. Could solve a lot of time saving and head-banging!
