Then I guess you didn't read the documention for the Service property yet:


    Service
    Specifies the name of the service for which the socket connection is
used.

    __property System::AnsiString Service = {read=FService,
write=SetService};

    Description
    Use Service to identify the use of the connection. Windows provides a
number of standard service names such as ftp, http, finger, and time.
Servers can specify additional services and their associated ports in a
SERVICES file. For more information, see the Microsoft documentation for
Windows sockets.

    Certain port numbers are reserved for specific values of service. Thus,
Service provides a more meaningful way to specify the server Port to use for
the socket connection. For server sockets, using Service rather than Port
ensures that the server will listen for TCP/IP requests on the appropriate
port.

    Note: Trying to change Service when the connection is open will raise an
ESocketError exception.
