Problem connecting Windows messenger by Micik on 07-30-2007 at 09:56 AM

Hello to all,
I'm new to this forum and hope you'll be able to help me.
I'm having problems connecting to windows messenger through proxy.
I can use web browser by typing proxy informations but not windows messenger. Win messenger is version 4.7 (.3000).
What is interesting is that when I choose option "I'm using proxy" I can only enter Ip and port number, but not username and password. Username and password I need to type every time I start IE.
Can you give me any advice?
Can I check if port is disabled? Which ports use win messenger?
When I try to connect I get error message "Service temporary unavailable", although I have checked it and it works.

Any suggestions?
Thanks
