Hi Ian, What port the WMS service uses is normally determined by the web server used. It's typically 80, but could equally be 8008, 8080 or any other relevant number.
MapInfo Pro shouldn't care about it either, since the port's an integrated part of the server url, even if it's not mentioned explicitly. This is not a guarantee though. You should probably have a closer look at the middleware, and possibly test your connection with just a browser. Best regards/Med venlig hilsen Lars V.

I need to know if WMS servers just use TCP port 80 or if they use other ports as well. The program I am trying to use is called HTTPort (http://www.htthost.com), it creates HTTP tunnels through proxy servers and firewalls. So far I have successfully got it to work for news groups, but I am having trouble with WMS servers. I am trying to connect to MapInfo's Global WMS Server (http://www.mapinfo.com/miwms), but my results have become confusing. I keep getting a "Not Found" error message (at least it beats "Access Denied"). I am looking for any ideas, comments, etc..
