  I have been researching this for a couple of days, and as the subject line 
suggests, am new to network programming.  Trying to figure out what the 
parameters/standards on winsock port numbers are, how they are determined 
and what they are used for, etc.  Any tutorials out there or guidance to 
such would be much appreciated.
