MT4 Connection Problem?? HELP!!

Just a quick question for Merlin or whoever else is there that can help me get this thing connected. I have both MT3.83 and MT4 through InterbankFX. I can connect just fine at home with both on a dial-up (yes, dial-up) connection. MT 3.83 works just fine at my office on a wireless DSL connection, however, MT4 will not connect. I have added MT4 to my exceptions list on my firewall, but still to no avail...Metaquotes website says use proxy server or open port 443 through server...I can not figure out how to do this to get my MT4 running at my office...Any of you computer tech guys out there who can give me step by step instructions on how to get this connection up and running, please let me know ASAP...

THX,

From the Whatever for Dummies collection. Before you call the electrician, try changing the light bulb.

Will MT4 allow you to Login to the Same Account from two different locations
Simultaenously ? Not saying that's what you are trying to do, just pitchin' items to be eliminated.

You cannot login to account meant for mt3 thru mt4 platform and vice versa.
These versions differ and logins cannot be interchanged.
This is the case for real accounts & possibly demo's.

I think you have missed my point so I will try to be more clear...


I use both MT3.83 and MT4 platforms with separate accounts in each.
MT 3.83 connects just fine at home and at my office on my laptop.
MT 4 connects just fine at home but it will not connect at my office.
I am not trying to log into the same account, or the same platform.
MT 4 needs port 443 to be opened thru my server to connect via my wireless DSL connection. How do I get this port opened or how do I set up a proxy server to connect through?

Hope that clears it up, though I thought it was clear in the first place

Hmm... I don't know why you would need to do this manualy but if you must you will need to log in to your router.
See your router manual if you do not know the login (it will be something simillar to http://192.168.123.100)
You can also go into your windows firewall settings and add that port in under exceptions tab.
(but if this is at work you'll most likely need to inform your administrator about this if it isnt yourself)
Good luck
