Finding available (open) ports
Authored by: gatorparrots on Apr 30, '03 08:04:06AM

Launch /Applications/Utilities/Network Utility.app
Click on the Port Scan tab.
Enter your LAN IP address in the box.
(Usually something like: 192.168.*.*, or use the loopback address: 127.0.0.1)
Click the Scan button.
It will execute a port scan of your computer and return a list of available, open ports on your computer. (Sometimes the process takes 20-30 seconds, so be patient.)

If you want a more robust port scanning application, NmapFE (frontend) works very well:
