How Do I Use LogMeIn on a Specific Port?

Please download the this file. (go to logmein FAQ and type "ports" into search to obtain download)
Create a folder in the C:/ drive called lmi. Then open the LogMeIn.zip file and extract it to the lmi folder.
To open the command prompt:
In Windows 2000 or XP:
Go to Start > Run, type cmd, and hit Enter
In Windows Vista:
Click the Start button, and in the instant search bar type cmd, right click on the top result, and choose run as Administrator
To install LogMeIn under a different port number:
If the local operating system is 32-bit:
Type cd c:\lmi\x86 [Enter]
Now type logmein install -port xxxx Enter
Substitute any number up to 65535 for xxxx
If the local operating system is 64-bit:
Type cd c:\lmi\x64 [Enter]
Now type logmein install -port xxxx Enter
Substitute any number up to 65535 for xxxx
This will do a command line install of the product and assign the listener to port whatever was used in place of xxxx.
If you are unsure whether you have a 64-bit Operating System (only available on XP and Vista), right-click on the My Computer icon, and choose Properties. It will say x64 on this page if you have a 64-bit Operating System. If you do not see x64, then you have a 32-bit Operating System.
You will then receive a message that install was successful. Close the command prompt window and click "Open LogMeIn" on the message that appears, and follow the steps to assign the computer to your LogMeIn account.
Don't have physical access to the computer?
If you are using IT Reach, and not LogMeIn Pro or LogMeIn Free, you can use Configuration Groups to assign a different port to a group of computers.
To use this method:
Log into your account and click Configuration on the left side of the My Computers page.
Create a Configuration group by entering a group name and clicking Continue.
From the Category drop-down menu, select Network.
Enter a TCP/IP port to listen on and click Save at the bottom of the page.
Next, click Finish and Save All.
At this point, you have the Configuration group set up properly. When you want to deploy installations of IT Reach using this Configuration group now, click Add Computer, select the Deploy IT Reach option, and when creating the installation link, select the Configuration group that you had set up earlier.
When someone uses that link, the installer that they download will automatically attach their PC to your account and configure the installation to the pre-specified settings.
