134967 2003-04-10 23:08:00 I can't find a post where I was told what ports were used for what in MSN. I need to set pinholes in the router to allow file transfers, voice comm and video conf but I've lost the post. Was posted last year in the old style forum.

In failing to find that. Can anyone suggest the website that tells what ports is what? It's a MS site that's all I know.

have a look at this list Ports_List (www.practicallynetworked.com) and the related list Looong_list (www.iana.org) which may be of help.

Cheers, Babe.

No problem, actually I was looking for that port list myself, thanks for your pointer.

Cheers, Babe.

134972 2003-04-11 00:01:00 It's a pressf1 bug, I just copied and pasted the link from the addressbar, I should probably use the forum HTML formatting instead.

I still have problems with Voice/Video... maybe I need to open more ports, File Transfers work fine though.

134973 2003-04-11 01:29:00 Yes, I think I heard that Voice/Vid operate on 3 ports up from the normal ports...

Cant be too sure, but can you not turn off the firewall and note what ports are being used while its off??

134974 2003-04-13 10:08:00 *bump* (weekends com'on!)

anyway... I can't switch off the firewall because it's my router and it has to be pinholed to allow certain applications to work. Using the Browser Control Panel I'm limited to 64 pinholes, using telnet I can create quite a lot of pinholes.

Is there something I can do that will make the programs I run use specific ports? so maybe I can control what ports programs use instead of their huge range of dynamic ports?
