Hi i am a newly apponited system administrator, and need to enable MSN messenger to run off a few workstations. However, i have not luck in getting them to connect... MSN say that Messenger automatically detects my LAN settings, hmmmm i dont think so, otherwise it would connect right? I am running (Microsoft Proxy 2.0 Server) on the Internet server, i have also opened the outgoing port 1863, still no luck..... i am pleading for help...... how you can.. many thanks

If Internet Explorer connects through the LAN. MSNIM should also. However, are you aware there are several security issues with MSNIM?
