Re: Monitor as NT service - Which port?

[David Neumann <dneumann@apple.com>]

To use DirectConnect with the Monitor when you have it running as a
service:

Open up a DOS shell.
Type this:
defaults write Monitor WOPort 7777

Now you can access the Monitor like this:
http://YourHostName:7777

In the services Control Panel make sure the Monitor and MonitorProxy
services are configured to Start at boot.  

To make sure that Monitor and apps its starts have the right account you
expect you might want to change the Account/Password in the Services
COntrol Panel as well.
