I have an app where I need to see which local port will be granted when one is next requested.  I use the following to obtain the local port number last allocated ...

         ServerSocket1->Open();  //.. a TServerSocket component
         TServerWinSocket* Socket =  ServerSocket1->Socket;
         long myLocalPort = Socket->LocalPort;
         ServerSocket1->Close();

Although this works, it's wasteful since every time I use it, it uses up a local pot number.  Is there a way to peek at what will next be allocated without actually using a local port number.
