This is on a local host.  

I see slime opening ports above 40,000.  I've been digging and tracing the code to figure out where the exact number is coming from, where I found a call to LOCAL-PORT and SOCKET-QUEST in SETUP-SERVER.  I'll dig some more tomorrow.

The default port is 4005, which can be changed, but I would advise you not to expose it, not even on a LAN, because it's unencrypted. Better setup a local SSH tunnel to the remote host and have the SLIME client connect through it.

Hello,

I need to ask my IT department to open ports needed to communicate with SWANK.

What is the port range that SWANK uses?  
Or is it possible to specify a port during slime startup?

Thanks,

Mirko
