any port above 1024 can be used for dedicated server connections. Its not the database instance's fault that it used the port, as you failed to reeserve it. did you actually expect redmond to reserve a port for open source software?

there is a file in win32 named "services" that is used for reserving ports, which is located in:

W2K C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc
WinXP C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc

you'll need to be logged in with privileges that can modify the file.

c:\> echo ajp13 8009/tcp >>
%SystemRoot%\drivers\etc\services

shutdown the database instance.
restart the desktop.

hth.
