Using MSN Messenger 8.1

I have Windows Vista Business

If I am not on my work network then I can login to MSN messenger fine - for instance at home using my DSL connection.

If I am in work then it just won't log in.  I can login via webmessenger though.

I used to have Surfcontrol filtering all the network users but that has been removed from the network now so its not filtering.

I know its not the firewall because I have many users on Windows XP able to perfectly access MSN messenger.

So it must be something to do with Vista?  Anybody come across this issue before?

Many thanks in advance

Okay I found out the solution.  On the SonicWALL there is an option to "Enable support for windows messenger".  It was checked.

So UNCHECKED it.  And it works.  Strange huh?!
