I am sure this has been discussed before, but I need help. I am able to download trillian but my school’s Windows 2000 blocks all the ports so I can’t connect. Last year when we had NT I was able to succesfully change the port on Aim to 443 to get it working, but even that won’t work anymore. Does anybody know what I can do to get this working?
Thank you,
Nick
Is using a chat program against the rules in your school? If it is, they most likely blocked every single port except the neccessary ones for networking and accessing the internet. You could try using http://www.trilliananywhere.com/ I am not sure if that will help but you can give it a try since you use a web browser to access it.
For services other than MSN try using port 80. The makes a rather half-hearted attempt at looking like your browsing the web, so you might get through your firewall (if it’s not set up very well).
Sadly this *never* works for Trillian-MSN at the moment.
I have a similar problem. I have successfully installed and can use Trillian on a PC on our network, yet tried to install on my own in my office, also connected to the same network with the same settings, and it won’t connect to MSN from here!
Anyone any ideas?
