hello,

everyone knows skype. skype is a program allows calling. in its 
option/connection section there is a message:
"use port 2537 for incoming connections, use port 80 and 443 as 
alternative."

You know what the port forwarding is. I didn't fwd 2537 port. I think it 
works with 80 and 443.

I have a chess program uses 1980 as a port number. Everyone have to fwd this 
port in order to allow connections.
That's my question:

If I change the port of my program to 80, is port forwarding not required 
anymore?

- to gambit: you can download my program at www.chesspeer.com and look to 
the about section. there is a nice surprise for you ;)
