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 ;) sezgin

Just like with any other port, if you don't forward it in the router, then outside clients will not be able to reach it. > I think it works with 80 and 443. Those have to be forwarded as well. > I have a chess program uses 1980 as a port number. Everyone > have to fwd this port in order to allow connections. As they should be. That is how routers are designed to work. > If I change the port of my program to 80, is port forwarding > not required anymore? Yes, it is still required for all INBOUND ports that you need to use in your application. Gambit
