| 772771 | 2009-05-10 05:09:00 | Skype Settings Hi All. Am trying to install Skype. Under tools/options/Advanced settings/ connection at the top of this page there is a box saying "Use Port..... For Incoming Connections." Then next is " Use port 80 and 443 AS Alternatives For Incoming Connections" The box next to this is ticked. Question: Is there any particular port number which should go in the blank box "Use Port...?. For Incoming Connections." If I leave this box blank and click save to finish, I get a message "Invalid Port" so I imagine something has to be put in the blank port box. Any suggestions as to a port number? Cheers. |

| 772775 | 2009-05-11 22:24:00 | Thanks all. I don't really know much about Skype. Just figured that if it was there it needed to have a port number. I'll leave it blank and see how it turns out. Thanks. | pipercub (7089) | ||
