That's not good at all.  Other TCP/IP programs that do this (like FTP)
often have a way to turn that behaviour off (in FTP, it's SENDPASV.)
Several things to relay to the help team:

Does this use the portmapper to determine an available port?
Is this for Code only, or for Lpex, too?

Thanks for being the messenger, Violaine.  It's not a happy job, but
we're glad to have you pulling for us!
