For some reason, (which I can't find any documentation on), if U-Boot gives a port number higher than 17500 to a Microsoft DNS server, the server will reply to port 17500, and U-Boot will ignore things (since that isn't the port it asked the DNS server to reply to).
This fixes that by ensuring the random port number is less than 17500.
