svchost port 1900

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

Rather than make any leading guesses as to what this particular operation is up
to, does anyone know exactly why svchost wants to connect to the Internet thru
port 1900 ?

If you have no need for Universal Plug and Play Device Host or SSDP
Discovery Service, disable them in Services.

Read the links. Your BIOS has *nothing* to do with it.

the top is my ISP. The bottom is my email spam [popfile] setting minus the
1900. popfile doesn't use the specific defined port. It uses smtp and pop.
the bottom one for the machine is a surprise to me.

here's a quick hint you might put away for future reference. You don't always
have to scroll with well written programs. ie: the above as example, just hit
the letter 'S' and it'll bypass A-R and jump right to the S entries. then
scroll for about 4 entries to ssdp.

The same refs to 1900 appeared after a reboot. What I assume the need to
connect to the Internet over 1900 with svchost is for windows updates.
