port 8080 and wildblue help

I switched from AOL dialup to Wildblue satellite. Theres a website chat room that I was able to use with AOL but cant with Wblue. Wildblue is using port 8080 and the chatroom is to so Im not able to enter chat anymore. It attemps to load but doesnt. A guy Port scanned my PC and said that Wildblue using 8080 and the chat using 8080 was causing a conflict. Do you know how I can work around this so that I can enter chat again?
Thanks

    Don’t you just hate that Debbie!

    Fpipe or something like this may help. FPipe basically works by indirection. Start FPipe with a listening server port, a remote destination port (the port you are trying to reach inside the firewall) and the (optional) local source port number you want. When FPipe starts it will wait for a client to connect on its listening port. When a listening connection is made a new connection to the destination machine and port with the specified local source port will be made – creating the needed stream. When the full connection has been established, FPipe forwards all the data received on its inbound connection to the remote destination port beyond the firewall.

    Hope this helps – report back and let us know!

    Thanks!

    Jim.

    I am not an experienced computer user. Can you explain this for me. Is this safe to use?
