Can't connect from work - which ports do I need?

Hello,

I have FolderShare installed at work and I can't establish an outbound
connection. I can't even log in to FolderShare - it times out on the initial
login.

My question is - what ports does FolderShare use, and what IPs does it
connect to? I assume it only needs port 80 outbound, which I know we have
open. Unless my company is blocking the FolderShare address space, I can't
imagine why else it couldn't connect. Are any other outbound ports needed?
Are any inbound ports needed? (I'm sure we have no inbound connections
allowed).

Thanks.....

RE: Can't connect from work - which ports do I need?

Nobody knows which inbound/outbound ports are used by FolderShare? I checked
any available documentation and couldn't find this either. Seems like it
would be a fairly common question. I'd also be surprised if you needed more
than common outbound ports to connect - otherwise, most users on a corporate
network would be out of luck.
