Guest is allowed . In Windows , in its menus , during my settings , I could not see any mention of "Ports" . Therefore , it is necessary to know how to set such ports . It seems that , some values are not set in Windows . In documents , sometimes their writers , are not mentioning some points . These points may be not important for them but may be critical for a newly starter person . Documentation write-ups are full of such missing "expertise" information . Thank you very much .
