Help! How do I change a port for logmein in Mac OS X Moutain lion

[jazzwineman]

Apparently Logmein free makes use of port 2002 in mac OS X Mountain Lion. I need to use that for some new accounting software. How do I change the part in Mountain Lion and how would I do an install of Logmein on the computer to use another port or how, with Logmein currently installed do I change from port 2002 to some other port.

I guess that the broader question is how do you change/assign ports in Mac Os x Mountain Lion?

Thanks for you help.

change/assign ports

normally this is set in the software and not user settable. A port is one end of a 2 way communication, computer 1 sends information to a port that computer 2 is listening on, then computer 2 replies. If you change the port number on one end how would the computer on the other end know?

I am aware of that. But on logmein port 2002 on the mac and windows os is just a listening port. In windows I just change in the registry and everything is fine- no issues at all. Just trying to find out how to change the porrt on a Mac as the BBJ software wants port 2002 and instead of making hundreds of changes in Add-On software, I would just want to make one for Logmein.

Just check with our Tech, she said she would do it via the router, or buy the Server App. Sorry thats my limit. https://itunes.apple.com/nz/app/os-x-server/id537441259?mt=12
