Setup > Preferences > Sign On/Off > Connection.

You can do auto configure so that it finds an open port or manually configure one yourself.

Yeah our school is blocking the default.
We need to slack off every now and then, so please help!

Yes actually, is there a way around it?

No. The perimiter security can detect what the application is no matter what port you are using.

Somebody got it to work today, I wonder how they did that, I doubt the program was totally blocked. It was the old aim too.
