Setting Host and Port when your XMPP server is running on a different host than your domain

Setting Host and Port when your server is running on a different host than your domain.

Typically, a XMPP client is able to auto discover the host and port on which the xmpp server for your domain is running.

However, the BlackBerry does not provide an adequate DNS library for this purpose so if your XMPP server is running on an alternate host and port, you should manually specify these in Account Settings of the Vayusphere XMPP Client.

For example, your userid may be user@yourdomain.com , but your XMPP server may be running on the host jabber.yourdomain.com on port 5222. In this case, you should specify the host jabber.yourdomain.com in the Host field and 5222 in the Port Field of the Account settings.

If you are unsure of the settings, please ask your Jabber/XMPP administrator for these details.

Advanced Users:

If an administrator is not available, you can look up the XMPP host and port using a DNS look up client like nslookup:

nslookup>
nslookup> set q=SRV
nslookup> _xmpp-client._tcp.yourdomain.com

(Note the underscores and the dash. Replace yourdomain.com with your domain settings that are to the right of the @ sign in your userid )

From the result, note the host and port entries

To use the nslookup program, Windows users can Start->Run and type nslookup. Unix users can type nslookup at the command line and follow the instructions above.
