In TCP/IP you typically have a static or dynamic IP address but you need to know the port number... so what do you mean by dynamic port?

Are you writing the client or the server?

Server

In which case you need to use WinSock to bind to the port, if you specify zero as the port number then WinSock will automatically assign a port number to you (dynamically), the WinSock connection that you bind on will then receive the data once a client connects to it.

Sorry, but don't know the VB syntax, but you should be able to look that up.

If your code isn't working, then post a SMALL segment of it (the WinSock bit) then someone might be able to help.
