Network Ports

[Foz]

Here's something that I've been wondering:

Is there a "best practice" when you want to allocate tcp/ip port(s) for a server/client program?

I know the general "don't use anything under 1000" rule, but are there any other "rules" that I should know about, or is it a free for all - pick a number and roll with it?

Pick a number that isn't commonly used as a default, allow it to be changed in configuration...
A pretty good list can be found here

Don´t use portnumbers frequently used by spammers, hackers, malware, public services, mail, etc. etc. etc.
Google is your friend in this.
