Hello,

my aMSN can't connect to the server. If I however set: "using HTTP connection" in Preferences to true everything works fine. I'm guessing the 'direct connection' doesn't work because of firewall issues. I might have to change the port from which it tries to connect, but how can I do that?

Hmm I would asume, that it is not the sourceport of your connection witch makes
the problem. I would suggest that the remote port you want to connect to
is blocked by the firewall.
HTTP should always be avaliable because of surfing the net.....

You could find out the port it wants to connect to by simply looking at the output from:

Code:
netstat -vatnp
(Es konnten nicht alle Prozesse identifiziert werden; Informationen über
nicht-eigene Processe werden nicht angezeigt; Root kann sie anzeigen.)
Aktive Internetverbindungen (Server und stehende Verbindungen)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       PID/Program name
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:2544          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      -
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:25            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      -
tcp        0      0 :::22                   :::*                    LISTEN      -
tcp        0      0 ::1:25                  :::*                    LISTEN      -

In my case there a only listening ports....
Look at connected ones......often you can see the programname at the very right side witch does the connection....


hope that helps....
