What is Port 49360 for?

My apologies in advance but I tried and failed to understand what I had read.

I was logging on to an application and received the error "website cannot be resolved". However, instead of my application's URL, it said . Read about 49360 and all I can understand is it's responsible for connecting me to the WWW. Did I understand that correctly?

Another question is this: "UDP on port 49360 provides an unreliable service and datagrams may arrive duplicated, out of order, or missing without notice."

I read it here. Does this mean I should not be using this port?

Thanks!

I see. Thanks you Corday. But any reason why it showed up on my browser's address field instead of the app's login page (or app's URL)?


Thanks doc, but I'm afraid the last two links are a tad too technical for me. (The second link is what prompted me to post here.)
