Besides, ASIO takes care for the correct interpretation of the addres
(including the right byte-order), you can set the IP&port in a
"human-readable" form.
According to the description of the OP, it seems that 11035 is the
local port that the application opens for the outgoing connection -
this explains why it's always the same.
