Does this server have anything to do with your TurboGears application?
Or is it something brand new? Turbo gears can be configured to use
any port using the config files.

 If its new, what protocol are you using? Is it http or tcp/ip or raw IP
or something else?

At the most basic level you can use the socket module and do it all
from scratch, but if its a higher lervel protocol there may be higher level
modules already written that will help.

We need to know a lot more about the problem and the
environment - what kind of computer/OS etc.
