Most likely they are a service configured to run on non-standard port numbers. This is best practice (as far as I'm concerned) in production environments. For example, the PCAnywhere service could be running over these ports. The only way to find out (other than actually examining the node on which this service lies) is to try some sort of signature recognition of a tcp/udp handshake on the ports. If the service is PCAnywhere, for example, if you telnet to the lower (I think) port number, your response back will be something like "press <enter> to continue". Or if its http-based, you might receive some information back relating to the current version of the service after pressing ENTER a few times.
Let us know!

Subject: ports 5168 & 5169
Does anyone know of a specific app that uses these ports?
http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers
shows them as unassigned. I am troubleshooting a problem & trying to figure
out why they are open on a PIX.
Thanks,
Richard
