How to set PORT using ??? by Harry on 10-24-2004 at 11:39 AM
I’m not sure which Ports are using Massanger Plus, but I want to set it to use for example Port 21. How can I reach it ???
Thx all.

Messenger Plus doesn't use any port becuse it doesn't connect to anywhere except for the following cases:
When looking to an update, it makes a HTTP connection to msgplus.net, so it connects to the port 80 of the server (the local port is a random one assigned by Windows).
When you use the (!IP) tag: The same as before.
When you use the POP3 check mail feature: It connects to a POP3 server, usually at port 110 (if you haven't changed it).
If you want to see which applications are making what connection and to what ports, you can use TCPView, from www.sysinternals.com

Exactly what I need:
Basic text messaging/connection to Messenger server: port 1863 or 80 TCP and 443 TCP
So I want to set it to use for messaging/connection to Messenger server for example Port 21 !!!
How can I do it ???

I don't understand what you want to do, but I think that you can't. The server of messenger works with those ports and you can't change that.

You can't do this. If you want to bypass a firewall, for example, then you should use a program like hopster.
