Thanks for all these. I already tried them before I posted and nothing
is listening on that port (including all computers I have behind the
firewall, and that includes the M$ computer).
Couldn't find anything coherent on google either. It seems like there is
something that can listen on that port as google states but I never
heard of it and googling for that didn't help either.
Probably some program the previous user of the ip on my provider's
network was using.
I could try scanning my providers network for something listening on
that port and try to convince it to identify ;-)
