Default Browse host question

Im using the latest Phex and have a question about the "browse host" option. In the upload window I can view others uploading files from my box. When one host recieves 3 file uploads at a time he uses a different port for each file. The ports in this case were sequential in the 1700 range. There is a "browse host" button on this page however how does Phex know the proper "listening port" for the host that I wish to select. The ports in use are obviously not the listening ports. Is there something in the communication that states the proper listening port? If not, does anyone know how to query a host for the proper listening port? Since there is no real default listening port anymore for Gnutella it would be helpful to be able to detect it through some means.
Thanks
Dave
