Other ports

Tools->Options->Connection  Listening port is set to XXX00
Tools->Options->Advanced-> Outgoing Ports min(XXX00) max(XXX20)

I was hoping this would make sure my local ports for incoming and outgoing would always be in this range. That is not true. TCP connections are just fine, but UDP are not. I am seeing a different set of random UDP ports each time the program is loaded.

One run I saw: 51879, 51880, 51881, 51882, 51883, 51884, 51885
Another run I saw: 62683, 62684, 62685, 62686, 62687, 62688, 62689

Both times the ports never changed once the program was loaded, so I know it wasn't for new connections. How do I control these ports?

They are ALL in the 'ephemeral port' ranges and are used for temporary connections/communication probably during the 'handshaking' process.
