Microsoft Office Communicating on Port 37926???

B

Bill

Ever since I installed my D-Link Bluetooth adapter, whenever I start a Microsoft Office
application, my firewall pops up with an alert that there is communication on Port 37926
with UDP. The remote address listed is 127.0.0.1 (which is, of course, the local IP of
my computer). 37926 is supposed to be in the range of unused ports.

I've been searching the web all day on this, including D-Link's limited tech support
website. I see other people with the same question, but no solid answers about UDP:37926
except that the port is used by something called "IP Bus" (which seems to be unrelated),
and it might be used by Windows Messaging. (I'm using Windows98SE and no instant
messaging software of any kind is installed).

D-Link has been less than helpful - as a matter of fact, I get the impression from
talking to their (uninformed) tech support that their Bluetooth software is snooping on
my computer, using my local computer as a proxy - the computer looks like it's talking
to itself, when it's not (sneaky, sneaky!). I even get this message when the Bluetooth
USB dongle is removed, which makes me very suspicious.

(Oh, D-Link tried to blame Microsoft. Whenever a vendor tries to blame Microsoft, it's a
sure bet it's the vendor's fault)

Can anyone shed some light on this? Is UDP:37926 used by Microsoft for something or
other? Can anyone PLEASE help? Does office use UDP:37926 and what for?

Thanks,

Bill.

The IPBus protocol uses UDP port 37926. For communication across a
firewall the UDP port would need to be open for
both outgoing and incoming traffic.

Can you tell us which Firewall you are using? Is it a software based or
harware based? I suspect, you will need to enable this port for
communication purposes.
