Can a thread read from two ports simultaneously ( in java)????

Also how can i change the port to which a thread is listening to
dynamically, if at all it can be done (in java)???

While i am not sure what exactly you mean, i guess you have so far created
threads that do nothing more then reading input from one Socket object. If
this is the case, take a look at the java.nio package.

In any language, one thread does exactly one thing at a time. That's a
key part of the definition of the concept.

There is no answer to the question at this level of generality. You
must first define rather specifically -- best by means of source code --
what it means for a thread to be "listening" to a "port".
