Ok, so this is a bit of an odd problem.

To cut a long story short, I'm getting conned something aweful by my "ISP". I'm a university student staying in halls of residence and they only offer us this one, poor, overpriced connection.

It's so poor, MSN Messenger/WLM does not work on it. Other clients do, such as Trillian, Miranda and even Windows Messenger.

I suspect this is due to the new protocol that MSN 7 and above started using.
Assuming my ISP will continue to con me and not bother fixing their stupid network, is there any way I can force WLM to use the old protocol? I don't mind missing out on some features or something, but I am getting tired of looking at Miranda and such.

Here's an attachment of the error I get signing in. I'm 99.99% positive it isn't actually MSN's fault (Despite what the error codes imply).

If anyone wants more technical information on why exactly it doesn't work, feel free to ask, but I'm just looking for a quick fix for MSN.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
