use a tool like ntop or ethereal to listen to the traffic

Code:

netstat -plant | sed -n 's/[^:]*:\([0-9]*\) .*firefox.*/\1/p'

I used "firefox" here to test. Replace "firefox" in the above example with the program name on the client you want the port number of.

I find "netstat -plant" an useful command for finding info on TCP connections (and easy to remember).
