    Thought this would be useful for all bods trying to remember these for the N+ exam.

    Nice link Arroryn.

    Take it from me, you WILL need to know your port numbers and the service that runs on each port, no two ways about it. CompTIA expect you to know them and will throw questions at you that relate the ports listed in the N+ objectives.

    Yep, tried the link and still not working, anyway another common port is 666 for Doom, but I don't think that'll be in the Comptia Exam (unless they're doing a Games+ cert) :)

    If thats the case, then why, when I was interviewing for second line staff a month ago did I see five people (one of whom we eventually hired) who couldn't get more than 25% out of the following:

    PORT

    80
    21
    23
    443
    137
    5900
    1434
    25

    All of them had the N+ cert too...

    Thanks for the link guys. By the way what the port 5900 is for, i couldn't find it in the well-known ports list.

    Thanks

    5900 and 1434 are not the common ports ecpected to be known for the N+ 2005 objectives exam. All of the others are. It is the case because it is an objective to know them, though I can't vouch as to why 5 N+ qualified individuals would know only 1 or 2 of them.

    There's no easy way other than using them every day and memorizing them through use. After using them for a long time, it's second nature to know that HTTP is on port 80, FTP is on port 21, and SMTP is on port 25.
