I would like to enable YIM -aka Yahoo Instant Messenger, on either or both NAT and FW clients on my LAN. This must be a no brainer for some of you but not for me. What TCP ports do I need to associate with the new user YIM protocol I create and enable? Which primary, inbound and outbound or only one? Etc.

Thanks to all...

Searching the site I found quite a number of Yahoo related posts that I missed the first time. Sorry not to have noticed. Also, I have narrowed my problem down to the one XP Pro box that I started with. Seems to work fine on all w2k boxes, even with the YIM preferences/connection/proxies set to no proxies. Am going to read the rest of the earlier posts involving Yahoo and see what I come up with. In the meantime would love to hear from anyone having a similar problem, on XP or otherwise. At this point I have no user protocol defined specifically for any of the Yahoo functions.

Hi P,

Here's some advice from another ISAServer.org member:

if you're using only secureNAT --

create protocols to support the following:
a) yahoo messenger chat - tcp 5050 out
b) yahoo messenger masturba-, er, webcam - tcp 5100 out
c) yahoo messenger voice chat - tcp 5000 & 5001 out (both are necessary for voice)

i've spent a lot of time capturing all this stuff with ethereal while i verified everything worked. You may see some suggestions to allow outbound udp for 5000/5001 & 5050. Not necessary!
========================

HTH,
Tom
