Hi Arthur Replace "port" with "channel" or "line" and you may get a better picture. The sender uses port 80 as default: http://www.arthurs_iis.com:80 is equal to http://www.arthurs_iis.com Thus, if you iis listens to port 8080: http://www.arthurs_iis.com:8080 /gustav >>> fuller.artful at gmail.com 23-04-2009 16:27 >>> I don't understand the concept of Ports except in the most basic sense. IIS for example "Listens" on Port 80 by default. So if I switch the Port number to, say, 8080, do I have to adjust senders to recognize this new port assignment? My situation is this: I run IIS on port 80 and Reporting Services works fine. But then I also do some stuff in Ruby On Rails and its Apache server also wants port 80. If I change the port number on one or the other web server, do I have to communicate this info to the dependent programs, and if so, how? I hope I'm making this clear. What I do currently is shut down IIS before switching to RoR, and I would much prefer to skip this step so that both could run at once without collisions. In the RoR installation, Apache listens on port 80. Would I have to inform MySQL to address a new port number? I can see in the .conf file that it's easy to change the port number. The part of the puzzle that I cannot fathom is how the Sender knows what port to send to. TIA, Arthur
