Not leaving the game, minimize it, and click "start" on the computer. Next, look for the Run command and select it. In the input bar write "cmd" and click enter.

2. If you want to know the port of the proxy server that your computer uses to connect to the Internet, do the following. The easiest way: open the properties of your network connection and find the line "default gateway". It is the address specified in this string will be the proxy server used by your computer. If this line is nothing, see the settings in the Internet browser. To do this, go to the tab "tools", find the Internet options or connections, then go to menu "Network" or "LAN settings" (depends on browser).

To do this in command line (console) enter the following: tracert mail.ru. The first number is the server port for the web'.
