Firewall setup Help requested

I have NetBarrier.
Is there a website that has info on which PORTS are for what
(TCP,UDP,ICMP)

I keep getting a UDP Port 1434 when I visit certain websites -
mainstream ones, not personal, etc.
What is this port for?

f:\>cd Storage\Text

f:\storage\text>grep 1434 port-numbers.txt
ms-sql-m 1434/tcp Microsoft-SQL-Monitor
ms-sql-m 1434/udp Microsoft-SQL-Monitor


Looks like someone is trying to see if you have MS SQL and to see if
they can exploit it.

If you're too scared to go look for yourself, ask me

http://www.codecutters.org/resources/knownports.html

and

http://www.codecutters.org/resources/regports.html

for a list of ports. That particular one is MS SQLserver.

ICMP is a different protocol (i.e. don't think of it in the same way as TCP
and UDP, in having ports)

OOPS! I forgot to mention that I am a Mac user.
I am using an OLD computer - PowerPC 7100/66 AV.
(66 means 66Mhz!)

I keep laughing at anybody who complains about yEnc, Worms,
and .SRC viruses

It's not just your NetBarrier.

UDP or TCP Port 1434 is used by the MS SQL Server.

And we laugh at people who think tcp and udp are ports! There is a great
site that will tell you more than you could want to know about all the
ports. http://www.google.com or http://www.ietf.org/rfc.html
