Mac Forum / Applications / Other MS Products / May 2008MSN does not connect trought firewall...
Hi everyone, I'm in a business school where we are few to use Macs. When we try to launch MSN Messenger, it sais that it cannot connect to the server, and so, we cannot connect to Messenger, but our friends on PC can. Is there a solution ? (I tried aMsn, MSN Messenger, Adium and Mercury, but none worked...) Thanks Eneas it sounds like it cant detect an internet connection, is the internet working fine?

I am pointing this program to my proxy servers that I have connected on port 1088 to my computers at home. AIM and Yahoo messenger work fine but MSN doesn't work at all and says that it can't find a connection. I know it is a M$ product so enough said but I would like to get it to work if possible. It may be sad to use but unfortunately those not in the know are ignorant about the other services that work better and for that matter WORK. I think it is trying to go over a different port then you tell it. I need to know how to tell it to only use what I specify and not what it wants to use. If I set a proxy and tell it to use it then it damn well should use it but microsoft wants to dictate that too for me. Thanks Mac guys or even for that greedy, control freaks m$.

Sounds like the Mac proxy settings (either System Prefs or in Messenger) may be configured incorrectly. Can you describe your proxy settings (both System Prefs and Messenger)? Specifically the Messenger proxy settings in Messenger->Preferences->Accounts->Personal. Paul: Have you verified that Messenger is not honoring your proxy settings for port 1088? (You can use 'netstat -an' from the terminal to do this; let me know if you are unfamiliar with netstat and I can give some pointers). I have done some quick experiments and Messenger 5.0 appears to honor the proxy port settings; though I don't have a proxy server at port 1088 so I cannot verify that it really works (port 1080 works great). Given that netstat show that Messenger is trying to use the port I tell it to my guess is that this is not the issue. What proxy server are you using at home? Questions for both: I assume that you are using SOCKS; what version are you using? What version of Messenger are you running? Are you setting your proxy settings system wide (e.g. System Prefs) or specifically in Messenger?
