>>>>Some days ago I installed my ASP.NET application on a customer's web server. Everything went well. But when I was setting a web site I had to choose a port number (default was 80 and it was no go). So I assigned port 900 for one application and 901 for another (I installed two web sites and two applications). It worked. But I simply guessed the numbers 900 and 901. What are the right way of assigning port numbers for an intranet (note, not Internet) sites?

If you don't have a "real" dns name (eg. you're using an IP address), you can install each app into it's own virtual directory. The url then becomes something like http://ipaddress/virtualdir/default.aspx

When I was installing the application there was no choice to create a virtual directory, only web site. So I had to assign a port number to the web site. When I used default (80) it was bombing notifying that the port is already used for something. So I set the port numbers to odd numbers 900 and 901. The network admin knew even less than I about how to set up web sites and so on. The good thing is that so far it works. But I need to understand the concepts better. I will have to read up on that.

Thank you so much for your input.
