What port number ? Of which service ? And by host number you mean IP address or what ? Be more specific, please. Where does this request come from ?

I presume you mean your own IP. This can be found with /sbin/ifconfig. Port numbers are assigned to services, not machines.

Thank you, Twey.... sometimes I get all mixed up with this beautiful but tricky language...
