MSDTC.exe listening on port 5357 but DCOM port range restricted to 5000-5020

I've been having problems trying to get DTCPing.exe to work between 2 servers. I read this article and tried to troubleshoot the issue.

One of the suggestions to to run netstat -anob to determine what port DTCPIng.exe or msdtc.exe was listening on. When I run the command it says it's listening on port 5357, even though I have restricted the DCOM port range to 5000-5020 on both machines. (I have rebooted both machines, and my system admin says the firewall is open bidirectionally for ports 135, and the range 5000-5020)

Am I missing something? Shouldn't msdtc.exe be listening between the DCOM port range and not on port 5357?
