Hey Earl: You may be right for the AS2 software you use, however, for some AS2 software, you configure both ends of the addressing when setting up a trading partner relationship. In other words, the sending and receiving ports can be different.
i.e. I tell Walmart to send to http://www.vendorxxx.com:5080 and Walmart tells me to send to http://walmart.xxx.com:4080 and neither of us care what port does the sending as this info is part of the AS2 software setup. Or, perhaps, your new TP does not have that capability.

All servers have to be configured to |'listen' on a |particular port. Most times, these are defaults (Web, Email, |SSH, Telnet, |etc...) |AS2 recommends a few ports, but you can actually use almost any other. |Ex. pcAnywhere uses 5631 & 5632. If you want additional pcAny |sessions, you |have no choice but to use other ports... | |If I already have an AS2 server listening on port 8001, then |something sent to |9080 will be ignored. | |We _have_ found 2 possible solutions, depending on the client setup. |1) run multiple server sessions, each listening on a different port. |2) configure the router to forward the incoming AS2 to the |port which is being |used by the server. | |thanks for everyone's input... | |Earl Wertheimer |[EMAIL PROTECTED] |http://www.spe-edi.com | | | |------------------------ Yahoo!
