Ports

[marta_h]

Hi,

 

I cannot log in from my working place . Most probably this is a problem connected with the ports.

Is there any way that I cope with that, having in mind that the avaialbe ports at my woking place won't change in near future?

I don't know if any of these will help you, but here are some post dealing with ports and BBO...

 

socksCap32, log in behind firewall

 

BBO connection via proxy

 

Slow Logins

 

Not sure if any of those will help, this is not an area I am familiar with... good luck

Thanks very much! I read the posts.. Actually I know from our sysadmin that we have port 80 open. Then why I still cannot log in? ;)

 

Some of the posts mentioned that bbo works on either 9999 or 80

Your work environment may require you to use HTTP (what web browsers talk) in port 80. In that case, BBO won't work even in port 80, as BBO speaks its own language.

Port 9999 problems

 

As mentioned somewhere else by Uday, some ISPs throttle port 9999 and I think this is the cause of the very slow login problem that I am experiencing (am awaitng reply from my ISP).

 

I previously fixed this by editing bbover.ini to use port 80. I think the latest BBO update changed this back to 9999. Now I find that port 80 no longer works - BBO just hangs with 100% CPU usage and never starts up.

 

Is this deliberate or should I be able to use port 80? If not, what can be done about this? Can BBO use a different port number which is not throttled by some ISPs?
