Hello, in the first versions of MSN 7, in connection options i could set a proxy and a port to connect to MSN, but since 7.5 (i think) this can't be done on MSN, it has to be done on the connections settings in Internet Explorer and MSN takes the configuration from there. The thing is that i have internet access through port 80, but MSN is blocked and the only way to use it is with proxies, but i don't want internet explorer to use the proxy configuration because it becomes slow. Is there a way to use proxies in MSN independently from Internet Explorer?

thanks in advance,
unknown.
