Doing vs Thinking
As a network administrator, I get annoyed with requests to open a set
number of ports on a firewall when the numbers don't match.
For example:
Please open the following 10 ports: 49120-49130.
I respond - Do you want:
A. Eleven ports - 49120-49130
B. Ten ports - 49120-49129
C. Ten ports - 49121-49130
For the moment you're getting:
D. None of the above.Androgens Order
Forgive your enemies, but never, ever forget their names.
The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naïve forgive and forget; the wise forgive but never forget.

E: do you mean "I/O" ports
F: are you counting in binary, and those are the two ports you want open.
Cheers,

2. The port of Sydney.
3. The port of Adelaide,
