1201923 2011-05-13 11:03:00 Whenever I open Google Chat (the app) and connect, the router crashes and I have to reboot it. I was wondering if maybe Google Chat was trying to repeatedly access a blocked port or something. Note: It does this with Digsby as well, so maybe it is a universal port or something

Specifications: Windows 7, Thomson TG585v8

Many Thanks and Advanced.

1201924 2011-05-13 12:25:00 According to this (www.google.com) google chat uses port 443 OR 5222.

Maybe you can open one , if not both of the ports for Google chat :2cents:

Interesting is the fact that port 443 is normally SSL, meaning used for secure remote desktop Applications.

Love to try that chat to see if I could reproduce the problem BUT, that would mean having the ability to transfer files (Says 443) - thats port forwarded to one of my servers as remote access (as its meant to be) - so maybe I can have a "chat" with my own server :D

Cant remember where it was, or what router, but Once I had that problem with a customers Laptop, wouldn't allow me into the router settings Via wireless, had to use a Ethernet cable.
Maybe some security feature I guess in the router , to stop hacking in and changing the settings.
