I recently jumped on a packet sniffer and found that many of my workstations are broadcasting on port 1591. The most information that I could find is that it uses "ncpm-pm". Any idea what this is and why machines have to broadcast to use this? Thank you for your assistance.

Sounds like someone has some OLD software installed. From what I see, NCPM is Network Connectivity and Performance Manager, which I think has been replaced by newer technologies by now.

Thanks but I would like to know what kinds of programs would be using this port. Is it just OS connectivity managers or some kind of other proprietary piece of software?
