[dba-Tech] Question about Ports

Hi Arthur

It doesn't, the user who wishes to connect to your server must tell it if port is anything else than 80 - with a colon and the port number:

http://www.arthurs_iis.com  is equal to
http://www.arthurs_iis.com:80

Thus, if your iis listens to port 8080:
http://www.arthurs_iis.com:8080

That part I understand. The conceptual problem I'm suffering is "How does
the sender know which port to send to?" Or does the sender merely send to
all available ports and somehow the receiver grabs the message?
