Don't know if this will work to be honest, but it's worth trying...

Pidgin Portable - could try that, but if the normal Pidgin doesn't work, then I suppose this won't either.

they're all default. they're there for load balancing. MSN uses port 80. the reason it's blocked is because they're using stateful packet inspection. either set up a proxy or an ssh server at your home on an allowed port to get around the firewall.

Um... MSN uses port 1863 to connect, dude.

Of course, if they are blocking 1863 then you're screwed: all the MSN servers ask you to connect on that port.

The HTTP server stuff (which can be seen here) isn't used in the default client as far as I'm aware... the standard MSNP is used (here).

yes, but it will fail over to port 80 when it realizes that port 1863 is firewalled

O.P. RE: Anyway to change the address of msn?
Surely they won't have blocked port 80, isn't that what web browsers use to connect (or is it 8080)?
