[ASK] Yahoo Messenger Login Port

RouterOS General
1

I try to set my filter list so I only open ports i need and close all the reminding. As far as I know, Yahoo Messenger only use port 5050 for text communication ( and I only allow that ), most of PC in my network use YM ver 8.xx

The problem is, I cant get Yahoo Messenger to login with this configuration :

0 chain=forward connection-state=established action=accept

1 chain=forward connection-state=related action=accept

2 ;;; Email Server
chain=forward protocol=tcp dst-port=25 connection-state=new
action=accept

3 chain=forward protocol=tcp dst-port=110 connection-state=new action=accep>

4 ;;; Web Mail
chain=forward protocol=tcp dst-port=1000 connection-state=new
action=accept

5 chain=forward protocol=tcp dst-port=3000 connection-state=new
action=accept

6 ;;; DNS Server
chain=forward protocol=tcp dst-port=53 connection-state=new
action=accept

7 chain=forward protocol=udp dst-port=53 connection-state=new action=accept

8 ;;; SQL Server
chain=forward protocol=tcp dst-port=1433 action=accept

9 X ;;; Batasi 5 koneksi
chain=forward protocol=tcp tcp-flags=syn connection-limit=5,32
action=drop

10 ;;; HTTPS
chain=forward protocol=tcp dst-port=443 connection-state=new
action=accept

11 ;;; Radmin
chain=forward protocol=tcp dst-port=4899 action=accept

12 ;;; Yahoo Messenger
chain=forward protocol=tcp dst-port=5050 action=accept

13 ;;; Yahoo Messenger
chain=forward protocol=tcp dst-port=5500 action=accept

14 ;;; FTP
chain=forward protocol=tcp dst-port=21 action=accept

15 ;;; HTTP
chain=forward protocol=tcp dst-port=80 action=accept

16 ;;; Ping
chain=forward protocol=icmp action=accept

17 ;;; Proxy
chain=forward protocol=tcp dst-port=3128 action=accept

18 ;;; Close remaining port
chain=forward action=drop



I open port 5050 already, but it just wont login, but when I try to open all the remaining ports, it work…

What exactly additional port YM use in login??? please can anyone help, and sorry for my bad english…


Thanks in advance

I don’t know the port, but your problem is apparent - you allow only text communication, but not login :slight_smile: You must find out what ports it uses to connect to server.

I Think Messengers like YAHOO connect through different PORTS everytime.

this is really frustating, anyone have alternate solution here, I think many people have same problem with me, Yahoo Messenger is good for chat communication, but the its other feature like voice, and video really cost up our bandwith.

This is the information i’ve used on Yahoo Messenger

Yahoo Messenger Ports:
TCP: 80, 5000-5050
UDP: 5000-5050

Yes,
as i know more features is much bandwith too, you must make rule them to make establised connection feature. if not maybe you and me very2 frustated.

yeaahh I guess u r right, i try to look for port usage by application on view of workstation, it uses different ports, maybe multiple too ( maybe there are some programming login in yahoo messenger that require several port access to continue ) and maybe different ports on different yahoo messenger versions too, i am still trying to figure it out now..

go to dns and make , enable on allow remote request and tryy
