I've noticed that when I login over WIFI to my company VPN the following problems occur:

  1. GTalk does not login.
  2. No GMail notifications received.
  3. I can access the Android Market but when I attempt to download an application it fails.

All these work ok on my home WIFI and 3G connections. Does anyone have any idea what would cause this? What protocols/ports do these services use and is it possible to edit them?

    Ask your company's administrator? They surely should know better than some strangers in the internet if your company blocks some services. – Lie Ryan Jan 10 '11 at 20:09
  • I agree, it's like some ports being blocked. – Matthew Read Jan 10 '11 at 20:28
  • Happy to ask them but wasn't sure what to ask. IE: what protocols/ports do these services use? Is it possible to change them? I've updated the question to make this clearer. – sickgemini Jan 10 '11 at 22:25

I think GTalk uses port 5228, and the notifications and Market downloads both use the GTalk protocol internally.

  • Found this on the google help. Seems like it is ports 5222 and 443. http://www.google.com/support/talk/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=27930 – sickgemini Jan 28 '11 at 02:52
