Which port does toolbarqueries.google.com use?

Firewall is blocking results.....

.... so I always get a grey bar.

I'd like to resolve this, anyone know what port I need to forward?

Is it coming back in on port 80?

Thanks,

TJ

i think it is 8080. is it HTTP? if it is coming back then it is 8181.

Do

netstat -a

in a command prompt window and see what is in there. I cant tell you because my firewall allows it to pass without asking what it is. (Good firewal uh)
Basically check the IP's and you should see some 216's and 64's which are google address'.

You just need then to figure it out :(

Many thanks Griego, I'll give that a try.

It's going out OK, but results coming back are blocked so could be 8181 if you're right.

I'll try both though.

Thanks again,

ncsuk:-

Thanks - the netstat thing, do I do that and then open up a page in IE?

In other words, does it display live information?

<EDIT: Just tried it and answered my own question - can't see the google info though. Is it possible it's using UDP rather than TCP?>

Thanks, interesting - never used that tool before.

see netstat(1) [rt.com]

netstat shows TCP and UDP connections, as of the time when you run it. Try netstat -an.

There's also ``netstat 1''

Good page Brain thanks for that :)

Thanks Doc, interesting reading.

I'm sure with that I can work the rest out. I'll post and let others know as this affects users of Smoothwall GPL 1.0 firewall.

Hmmm.... interesting.

Now I'm at home (where google toolbar doesn't work) I'm looking at the firewall logs and I can't see anyhting from google actually being blocked.

8080 and 8181 didn't work.

Netstat doesn't really show anything that could be google.

Any ideas?

I had a problem with the toolbar that wouldnt show anything. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it worked. Try that....
