Re: portblocked - cannot connect to jabber server

Hello, I run a jabber server but my daughter who is at university is
behind an anal firewall that blocks outward, just about everything
is blocked except 80, msn ports and https (probably).

Now, as jabber clients send through any port that is 1024+ (my server
listens on 5222 and there are no firewall issues here) my daughters client
is blocked from sending to my server.

How can I force her laptop to send all jabber comms on one port which i
can then arrange to be open with the university firewall authorities
permission? They wont be opening all 1024+ ports. Just the one I nominate
for jabber.

Thanks.

Why not set your jabber server to listen on the msn port?
