I am at work, behind a company firewall, and no access to this fireall.

I run AIM, MSN messenger, and Yahoo messenger, separately.

I wanted consolidate, so I installed Trillian standard this morning.

None of the standard IM ports work through the company firewall.

I am trying to figure out which port Yahoo messenger uses, and MSN messenger, when I am connected to them. I know the standard ports, but again those do not work through the firewall.

Is there something I can do to show what connections my PC is making, and through which ports they are being made? I figure this way, I could connect to yahoo/msn, see which port is in use, then configure Trillian to use that port.

I was already able to do that with AIM, because in AIM options, it shows the port that is being used, which in my case is port 53.

Thanks in advance for any help!
