Well, Ive recently moved to University and am living in uni accomodation, we have access to the internet via a LAN connection and it is possible to use MSN live, so im told yet i cant get my head around it. 99% of the people using XP here can access MSN live without problem after inputting a few simple proxy settings but im using Vista. I and a few others on Vista cant seem to connect to windows live messenger, i can use web messengers but would be prefer to get MSN live up and going.

RE: MSN Live messenger on LAN
Do you get an error code?
If you want to set up a proxy, in WLM go to Tools > Options > Connections > Advanced Settings then where it says HTTP put a proxy, as well as a port. Proxy's can be found here. I'm not an expert on them but I think that's what you have to do. Let me know if it works. Good luck.
I have put in all the correct proxy details and when i click troubleshoot it says there is a problem with key ports but like i said everyone on XP can use MSN live without any problems
