I use Yahoo Messenger at office and there is a corporate firewall. It
does not allow any incoming traffic on any other port than the well
known ones. But If I configure the connection in Yahoo messenger
telling that I am behind a firewall it was able to connect .
I was curious to know how it was able to do that..not only messenger
but other file sharing applications..
Dows anybody have any ideas?
