Re: remote port or service name
If you think of the IP address as the street address, the port is like the apartment or door number. For a given machine they need to match, but if they use the term outgoing port, that refers the sending computer's port.
Service names are a way of using names and letting the port number be dynamically assigned. Quite a few port numbers are reserved for a given service. It is worth reading Wikipedia on tcp/ip to get a better sense of which to use. In LV, an unwired port will be dynamically assigned to avoid a conflict and is typically the right thing for outgoing ports
