telnet [hostip] [port]<br>
<br>
<br>
so:  telnet 192.168.1.10 6555<br>

if you get a connection, the port is open and listening.  If it rejects, it cannot reach that ip/port combination.<br>

<br>
I'm sure the same can be done in Linux, even the same syntax.<br>
<br>
<br>
Unfortunately telnet has been disabled by default from a few Windows versions back.  You have to go into features to add the telnet client (or just download putty or the like).<br>

Subject: how to test if port 6555 and 6556 are open on windows and Linux?<br>
<br>
Hi Experts - Filepro requires that ports 6555 and 6556 are open on<br>
windows and Linux?<br>
<br>
How can I test to make sure that is the case?<br>
<br>
thanks<br>
