BESFR41 and Yahoo Messenger File X-fer

[TommyP]

Hi All.

I am on a quest to fing out how to transfer files with a BESFR41 and Yahoo Messenger.

No matter where I look on the internet I cannot find the port# that Yahoo uses for this.

Or is there a different setting I should be looking at?

It can use a wide range of ports.
80
5000
5001
5050
5051

Are commonly used.

Try:
Open the YM connection properties page and select 'No network detection'.
