Make sure that no other application on the machine is using the same port(s)
that you are.  Also, if on a network and/or a firewall or router is
involved, make sure the port(s) are accessible.

Just because they are "reserved" doesn't mean that can't work in general,
just as long as they are not already in use.

If you are designing your own protocol, it is best to use your own port
number as well.  Less chance of conflict that way.
