TCP Open Connection - local port and address

[bjustice]

Question: is it possible to determine the local address and local port selected when using "TCP Open Connection" to connect to a TCP listener?

It seems weird to me that the "TCP Wait on Listener" resolves and returns this information, but the TCP Client does not have a way to determine this information.  Maybe I'm missing something.

To be clear, I'm specifically considering a situation where my computer has multiple NICs.  And I'd like to know which NIC is being used.

I found a relevant idea exchange thread on asking to allow for LabVIEW to specify which NIC to use.  https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Allow-user-to-select-the-which-NIC-to-use-for-network/idi-p/1497368#comments

Thanks!

Regarding which port was used it should be possible to get that information from winsock library on Windows. I think the answer can be found here:
