Here is a little tool to dump the contents of the endpoint mapper; real ugly output, but it gives some ideas about what's running and waiting on what dynamincally assigned ports: usage: "epdump" gives you the local machine's bindings "epdump foo" gives you \\foo's bindings, connecting to it over TCP "epdump ncacn_spx foo" gives you \\foo's bindings, connecting over SPX. It just calls RpcMgmtEpEltInqBegin and iterates through the EP entries, printing them out. Paul
