If you enter a name for the Master service/port in the
Tunnel/Mirror tab of the Properties window, that name must be
listed in the Windows services file.
services fileSince each manufacturer's services file is different, you
must find the services file that your TCP/IP protocol stack is
currently using. A Microsoft TCP/IP implementation typically puts the
services file in the C:\Windows (or
equivalent) directory. Most third party software either installs the
services file in the same directory that their software was
installed or into a directory named C:\ETC. Refer to your
TCP/IP documentation for the location of this file.
In Windows NT, the installation program attempts to edit a
services file in the
\winnt\system32\drivers\etc directory.
In Windows XP, the installation program currently does not attempt to edit
the services file. The default directory for that file
is C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\.
services fileOnce you have found the services file, you must add the
line:
service_name####/TCP
using a text editor. For example, to assign the name datahub
to port 4502, you would add the line:
datahub 4502/TCP
Remember that if you edit the services file with Notepad, it will attach a
.txt suffix when it saves the file so that you will not in
fact have edited the system services file, but instead created a new file, named
services.txt. You should rename that file
services, without the .txt extension.
