Guest alfer Posted January 9, 2005 Report Posted January 9, 2005 Hello, Im new to the forum but I hope someone here can help me. I am using activesync on my HTC Typhoon to try and sync my calendar, contacts, and email wirelessly. I set up a windows 2003 server with exchange 2003 and its working great. The problem is, my ISP blocks both ports 80 and 443. After trying several configurations I cannot get activesync to work on any alternate port other than 80 or 443. (Tried server:port with no success, it still tries to connect on 80 or 443 depending on my ssl setting) Does anyone know how I can get it to connect on a different port? Or, does anyone know of an alternative to using exchange to sync wirelessly? Thanks, Josh
Guest gaplayer26 Posted January 9, 2005 Report Posted January 9, 2005 Hi, welcome to the board :D Are you using NAT? If so, you could find a port that your ISP is not blocking and and re-direct that to the exchange box on port 443 (or 80). Eg. Internet > Port 10000 > Your Router (10000 External > 443 Internal). You can however, change the listening ports in IIS anyway... IMHO, I'd change my ISP or get them to allow those ports... HTH
Guest alfer Posted January 9, 2005 Report Posted January 9, 2005 gaplayer, thanks for the response. Yeah, I could do that, the problem however is getting my phone to actually connect using port 10000 or whatever instead of 80 or 443. As far as I can tell, there is no way to try and make it connect to another port :D Hi, welcome to the board :D Are you using NAT?

Guest gaplayer26 Posted January 10, 2005 Report Posted January 10, 2005 Are you 100% certain they are blocking the ports? As far as changing the port type in AS on the mobile - you can play around with the following settings in the registry (using PHM registry editor). - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\AirSync\Connection\UseURIAsSupplied - change it from 0 to 1 (Thats why adding the server:port does not work/has no effect). I did some tests but could not get it to work successfully - but I was getting different errors (the normal HTTP_400) etc... and ran out of time... Don't forget to turn off certificate checking on the mobile (using certchk.exe from MS) if you are using your own certificate + ensure the users have OMA access in AD. HTH and let us know how things go! :D
