I am having a network related issue that I am hoping can be fixed.  Without 
going into too much detail, the bpcd log is showing the following types of 
error messages on multiple servers (clients):

16:21:35.863 [5516] <8> bpcd main: connection refused for port 885, try again
16:21:36.861 [5516] <2> bpcd main: Got socket for output 5, lport = 923
16:21:36.863 [5516] <8> bpcd main: connection refused for port 885, try again
16:21:37.861 [5516] <2> bpcd main: Got socket for output 5, lport = 566
16:21:37.862 [5516] <8> bpcd main: connection refused for port 885, try again
16:21:38.863 [5516] <2> bpcd main: Got socket for output 5, lport = 623

Each connection attempt on each client, the port number changes that bpcd is 
trying to talk back to the media server on.  Is there any way to force bpcd to 
talk on a particular port back to the media server?  This is needed because the 
media server exists on a private network but talks to these particular machines 
over a NAT (they are in public space).  So, the problem is occuring when the 
machines on the public net are trying to talk back to the media server which is 
on a private network.  I can get some ports opened on the NAT, but I need to 
know if I can force these ports on the client side, so that I only have to open 
up a single port and not a range.

Thanks,
Kevin Steely
