Hi All

Thanks to those of you who have answered my previous asio queries - I'm
gradually
gaining on the problems!

I am allocating port numbers on tcp connections dynamically, and must
allocate
and reserve the port number without blocking. I also have multiple instances
of
the process which needs to do this, and I'm plagued by port collisions.

How do I detect, and avoid, port number collsions?

Thanks, Rob.
