Changing the port in iChat

Long ago I captured the following from this discussion board:
Open iChat.
Go to Preferences > Accounts.
After selecting the AIM Login account in the left hand list go to Server Settings tab.
With iChat logged out of AIm change the port from 5190 to 443
Log in to AIM<<
I'm curious if this is still a problem solver? I don't believe I've had trouble camming but I've only done mac to mac. I did have two 3-way chats that never materialized because I never got the screen showing the people.
But back to the quote, What is that change for? Should we make it?

Hi Eddie,
It was first found that Zyxel modems benefitted from this change. For some reason Zyxles do not like logging on to port 5190 and Video chatting.
More recent modems and routers have added protocols to the Port Forwarding set ups. This can have porblems when Port 5190 has to log in to AIM on TCP and have the UDP protocol for File Sending and Groupd chats and Buddy List updates.
In these cases it is worth changing the port to 443 to free up 5190 for UDP only.

  • Can't change the port

    A while ago, while in a library and trying to iChat/text with my wife and getting errors I attempted changing the port to 443 to solve the issue. It helped and I was able to chat.
    Now I'm having problems Vchatting and thought I'd change the port back to 5190. But I can't. When I open preferences and go to server settings and click on the port settings it's like clicking on a frozen window, nothing happens.
    I realize changing the ports may or may not solve my problem, but why on earth can I no longer change the port settings?
    Thanks

    Hi Daniel,
    You first have to log out of your AIM account.
    (you can log out by selecting iChat's pull down menu and select "log out of AIM)
    Then you will be able to change the port.

  • Changing the port?

    Is it possible to change the outgoing port for iChat?
    yea, that's all I really want to know.
    Help me oh gods of apple.

    Hi peter,
    Yep.
    Open iChat > iChat menu > Preferences >Accounts
    Click once on your account you want to change
    Go to the Server settings tab
    Make sure you are Logged out of AIM
    Change the port (5190) to 443
    This will change the log in porta and Text chatting as well.
    Video and Audio and the ports used to get a chat going are not changable.

  • Problems logging in even after changing the port

    I first had the problem logging in when I got my mac, and changed the port number and all was fine.
    Just recently, after some unrelated issues with our router, I started having more problems. Things were working up until yesterday.
    I will try to log in to iChat using the 443 port number, and it tells me " An undefined AIM socket error occured", then switches to the original port number, logs me in and out repeatedly, and says I have tried to log in too many times, etc. It won't keep the 443 number set for logging in either.
    Help!

    Hi,
    Try these two things one after the other. (i.e. use the second if th first does not work)
    1) Go to you home Folder/Library/Preferences by manually clicking through them
    Delete com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist and then restart iChat.
    Restarting iChat recreates the .plist and forces it to re-establish the Login info.
    If successful change the port to 443.
    2) GO to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts and highlight the miscreant
    Use the Minus button and delete it.
    Re-add the Account/screen name using the Plus Button.

  • My ISP tells me I need to I need to change the port to send/receive e-mails, but I can't remember my Mail password to add an account. How can I proceed without the password?

    My ISP tells me I need to change the port to send/receive mail, as the current port is going to be disabled for security reasons. But I can't remember my Mail password to add an account. How can I add an account when I don't remember my password? It's been several years.

    your email password is with your ISP so they can help. but if it is saved in the email app you can just change the ports in the preferneces without a password.

  • How to change the port in the URL of a BSP Iview

    Hello,
    we have several appraisal templates released in our R/3 system and we can access them by the portal.
    We are changing our systems and we are implementing a load balanced in order to improve the connections with the portal. So we need to know how can we change the port of the server that appears in the URL when we go to MSS ->teamviewer and select one appraisal to see the information of the template.
    We need to change it and indicate the port of the load balanced http://emsapl404pre.endesa.es:8000/sap/bc/bsp/sap/hap_document...) not the port of one of the WAS server as we have now http://emsapl404pre.endesa.es:8302/sap/bc/bsp/sap/hap_document...)
    Thanks in advanced.
    Best regards.
    Seshen

    Hi,
    Just view any BSP Application in SE80 and the click on Utilities(M)->Settings.
    This will fgive you option to change URL and port number of the URL..
    It will be under the Business server Pages tab in the settings window.
    Hope this helps.

  • I am trying to set up my outlook 2007 account on i pad and the process sticks on verifying.  It would appear to be a problem with outgoing server and I have changed the port number but with no success.

    I have just purchased an i pad 2 and am having trouble with the e-mail set up.  Set up with wi-fi, i-cloud etc has worked fine but the i pad is recognising my outlook 2007 account details but is not verifying it.  The trouble appears to be with the outgoing server and I have tried changing the port number, but to no avail!  Also reset the account settings for holding messages on the server...help!  As you can tell I'm not very techy and I'm desperate to get the bloody thing working as I'm going away on Tuesday! Any suggestions?

    I had a similar issue and it was password case sensitive issue

  • Why does the port settings on my iPad change every time I sync with my computer. After syncing I have to go in and change the port settings so I can send and receive emails on my iPad.

    Every time iSync my iPad 2 with my computer it changes the port settings. Has anyone else had this issue?

    When you sync the iPad, do you have mail settings configured to sync to the iPad? You could have different settings on your computer that might be affecting the email set up on the iPad when you sync.

  • Is it possible to change the port number of an already installed ITS?

    Hello,
    I've done an install of the latest ITS stand-alone application (win2k server , IIS). It was installed on port 81.
    Is there an easy way to change the port number of this ITS installation without doing a new install? I know there are port references in the itsregistrywgate.xml file but was not sure if these were maintained during install or by reading the global.srvc file entries.
    I've taken the simplistic steps of changing the port number in IIS and the global.srvc file but that does not work. I get a 403.2 read access forbidden error.
    Any advice would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Graham

    Hello Graham,
    yes, it is possible but depends on what you want.
    For IIS, WGate is depending on the following items:
    ISAPI wgate (the filter API that triggers on /scripts/wgate) which is normally a general isapi for all webserver instances.
    the virtual directory "SAP-WGate-Scripts" which exists for the according "virtual" webserver instance.
    the (web)servername in wgate registry, which points to your virtual webserver
    the "Port" in the URL section in wgate registry.
    So, if you want to change the port (e.g. from 81 to 82) for both your virtual webserver and the wgate then go ahead.
    But if you want an extra virtual host (e.g. on 82) then:
    create the virtual host on 82
    create a "SAP-WGate-Scripts" directory on this 82 host exactly as the one on the 81 host.
    change the "Port" in the wgate URL section.
    if you also have an own docroot directory you have to copy the SAP mimes from the 81 docroot to the new one.
    The only thing that will be wrong afterwards is the webservername, this will have no effect on the runtime behavior but at the next patch install you will get an extra dialog to identify your webserver again.
    If you wanted to go for the latter scenario then it might be less work to add a new instance by install e.g. a dual host wgate on the new virtual host or a single host install (with a dummy agate).
    Afterwards you can play around with the WGate configuration to change it to your needs.

  • Changing the port number in 10g Discoverer- Middle Tier & Infrasctructural

    Earlier I had insalled 10g discoverer which incudes both Middle Tier & Infrastructural Tier with default port numbers.
    Now i would like to change the default port numbers to other port numbers. This is because , i am got to do another discoverer installation with default port numers.
    In this case i have one question. Is it required to change all the port numbers that exist in the file "portlist.ini" of both Middle Tier & Infrastructural Tier.
    What change still i need to do in Oracle 11i application front.
    Thanks
    Naveen

    I did troubleshooting to verify the group, but this just changed the port number back to the default in the listener.ora & tnsnames.ora.
    So I did all the steps again to change the port number from the default to another - via lsnrctl status, i see that the new port number is being used, I can also log in to the database via Toad using the new port number, in v$parameter i see that the local_listener is registered on the new port number....only under the Fail Safe manager, the port number (under listener parameter) has not changed....it still shows the default port number. Anyone know how to change this???

  • OEM Can't get to database after changing the port on the database

    Hello OEM Gurus!
    I had to change the port on a database(11g) from 1521 to 1526. I adjusted the listeners to include the SID (finapp1t) in the listener listening on port 1526. I removed the SID from OEM (10g btw) and rediscovered it. It successfully rediscovered.
    Now I receive the following when I attempt to go into "tablespaces" or "tables" on the FINAPP1T database page:
    Listener refused the connection with the following error: ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor The Connection descriptor used by the client was: (description=(address=(host=urora2t.unioncentral.com)(protocol=tcp)(port=1521))(connect_data=(sid=finapp1t)(server=dedicated)))
    I then clean started the Agent on the server but I get the same results.
    OEM seems to think that that database FINAPP1T is still using port 1521. I can connect to the database on port 1526 from my Desktop so I know the listener sees this database.
    How do I tell OEM to update the port ?
    Thanks for you help!

  • How Can I Change the Ports for WebDAV file shares.

    Title says it all. I have another piece of software using port 80 and 443, I'd like to create iOS shares using WebDAV but I can't find anywhere in the GUI to change the port numbers and I can't work out whether I need to do something involving Apache virtual hosts and if so which config files are relevant to the WebDAV server.
    Someone must have done this by now, anyone know how its done???!!!!
    Thanks in advance.

    OK, so I worked out which files to edit and I actually managed to change the Apache/WebDAV ports on a clean 10.8 Server.
    By clean I mean I installed 10.8.0, updated to 10.8.3 via the combo updater, then installed the latest version of Server app and configured the services.
    Having done that I was able to make the required changes and all is working well. I then replicated the process on my live server but it throws up an error when I try to start up the WebDAV sharing.
    This thread outlines the same issue:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4199421?start=0&tstart=0
    I am getting this exact problem, in that any manual change at all to the 0000_any_443_.conf file will cause WebDAV to fail to start. This is annoying because I need to change that file. Its also annoying because the problem isnt there on my 'clean' server.
    I deleted the entire /Library/Server/ folder and the Server.app and reinstalled Server.app from the App Store, recreating the /Library/Server folder from scratch. This cleared out the apache config files which I tried to re-modify, but all the file sharing settings were retained. Does anyone think it would be worth deleting all the sharepoints? Any other ideas?

  • How can I change the "port" the printer uses?

    I want to access a Canon LBP3000 printer set as shared on a Windows PC. The Canon driver download does not allow me to find the driver when I try to add it to the shared printer.
    However, if I plug the Canon in directly to the Macbook I can install the driver.
    Is there a way I can change this "local" printer to point to the Windows PC printer?
    In Windows, I would just change the "port" from "USB001" to "\\Windows\Canon".

    Having connected the printer to the macbook, and added the printer, how can I now tell the macbook that the printer is not attached to a USB port, but is found at \\<windowspc>\<printersharename>? It is a simple problem on a Windows PC to change the port of a printer. Surely it is also possible on a macbook.
    It is possible on a Mac but this is not your problem. What Canon told you is wrong. Your problem is not with the Mac but with the Canon driver. The Canon CAPT driver for the LBP-3000 has not been designed to be used when shared from a Windows computer. It expects a direct USB connection to the Mac. The same applies to another proprietary driver called UFR2 for Mac. So no amount of queue changing will resolve your issue.
    For the record, to connect to the PC share via Mac, you would normally select to add and then select the Windows icon. This lets you browse the local network, starting at the workgroup level. After selecting the workgroup, then computer, then share name, the URL will look like \\computernamesharename.
    In a situation where you need to manually add the address because you cannot browse the network, you can modify the Add Printer toolbar to add the Advanced icon. This is done by Control-clicking on the Add Printer toolbar, selecting Customize Toolbar and dragging the Advanced icon to the toolbar. Then when you click the Advanced icon, a pane appears that lets you select a number of different protocol options, one of which is Windows. Here, in the URL field, after the "smb://" you can enter the computer share name followed by the share name, for example smb://windoze7/myprinter (don't be too concerned that the slashes are the opposite direction).
