xserver constantly scans local ports

[Valery Khamenya]

Perhaps the reason is clear.
In firewall settings only port 6000 was opened for XWin.exe
The smart XWin.exe started to scan from lower ports up to 6000.
I enabled the whole range (1024-6000) -- and no problems now :)

issue is closed.

thanks,
cya.
