Subject: using tcp port via socket on windows 2000 server

Here's a very simple ruby app that will listen to tcp port 9990.  It
works on my client windows xp machine, but when i put it on windows
2000 server, it doesn't work.  no port filtering is being done, so i'm
assuming that all ports are available.  any suggestions?  how do i
find out what ports are available.

require 'socket'
sessions = {}
serv=TCPServer.new('localhost',9990)
puts 'Server running...'
while(session = serv.accept)
   command = session.gets
   puts command
end
