I had the same thing happen. I am not sure whats up. I am wondering if it is part of the "as a buddy to help you fix your computer feature." I am using 2600 release.

I have the same problem with this port, i'm not sure what's this. When I try to block the port with BlackICe or Zone Alarm they can't do anything.

If someone know something about why this port is open in Windows XP (Build 2600) please tell me.

Thanks

port 5000 is used for universal plug and play
and is open by default of win xp. To disable
it go to start>control panel>performance and
maintenance>administrative tools>computer
mangement>services and applications> services

right click and choose properties for SSDP
discovery service. choose startup type disabled. do the same for Universal Plug and Play Device Host. Then reboot.
