Re: Activesync / Airsync - Alternative Ports

Hi,
If you wanted to throw hardware at it, you could probably setup a firewall
on your side to reroute the requests for 80 and 443 to another port, send it
via the satellite to the remote site and then reroute them with another
firewall on the far end. This isn't cheap or easy but it should work.

Unfortunately, not an option, I live in the country and there is no
wireless,
cable or DSL options. Satellite is my only option for the office. Was
with
KU band Direcway, with public IP, no problems but very slow and
unreliable,
switched to KA band very reliable and fast for upload and download.
Everything works fine for EXCEPT my Activesync for my smartphone. I am
currently using Pocket IE OMA and my server address on 4433 and it works.

Thanks for the suggestion though. ;.)

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?

I am using a Motorola MPX220 smartphone. Tried changing registry key
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\AirSync\Connection\UseURIAsSupplied - change it
from
0 to 1

Seems like http is hardcoded to go to 80 for Airsync. Are ther any
other
reg keys that can be added to allow me to go through port 8888 for http
and
4433 for https??

THanks

And the other option- change your ISP.
