I’ve looked through several posts and unfortunately didn’t get any where. I am on a network and behind a firewall. I know in our IE Browswer settings, for connections our Port is set to 80. I tried changing the defaulted 23 to 80 and that didn’t work either. Here is what i get when I click on the test button:

i don’t know…seems this is more a hassle than maybe i want to deal with. I put in the IP (at least i think i got it the right spot) and now here are my results:
