* - Administered port exclusions.

This means that this port can't be bound at all which causes vagrant up due to timeout while trying to connect through WinRM as that never ends up getting bound.

In general, I would suggest choosing ports that are within user ports range (1024-49151) to avoid these kind of problems.

This WinRM port has been this as far back as I can remember. It's the default used by Vagrant and that's likely why it's used here.

The excluded port ranges are very system-specific. I would expect some crossover, though. My system (Windows 10 up to date) shows:

> netsh interface ipv4 show excludedportrange protocol=tcp

* - Administered port exclusions.

55985 is not in any excluded range.

In general, I would suggest choosing ports that are within user ports range (1024-49151) to avoid these kind of problems.

Ports in those ranges are generally classed as Registered Ports. There is nothing 'registered' for 55985, that I could find, but it does have a history of being commonly used for WinRM for Vagrant (and possibly others).

I'm going to go ahead and close this issue, but we can reopen it if necessary.
