The simplest answer was to test the port by using telnet.
Ex. telnet <IP address of machine> <port number>
Original post:
Sorry if this is outside the scope of this list, but does anyone know of a
utility or command to test whether a user has access to a specific tcp/ip
port? We deliver software to customers that requires use of a specific
port, and it would be nice if I could find a way of directly testing port
accessibility and not having to weed out other possible problems. Also, if
you can direct me to different mailing list that would be helpful.
TIA,
Lynn
