Normally Sockets communication is done like this:
- The server listens on a specific port (2401)
- When a call is done the client requests a connection and the server
accepts this *on another* port
- Then the server continues listening on the 2401 port

This way clients do not block each other.
But the firewall must be able to handle the communication that is
caused by the initial call to 2401 on different ports.
