If you turn on packet filtering, you will be able to control what ports are open or closed. Just turning on packet filtering with the basic settings should fix your problem. You can do this by opening the Proxy Console, right click on Web Proxy, click Properties, click the Security button and click the checkbox labeled "Enable dynamic packet filtering". If it's already enabled, then make sure that there aren't any exclusions for ports that are used by IM.

Hope this helps!
