Simply install the MS Proxy 2.0 client software on your user's machines. This will allow them to use MSN messenger without any problems. But make sure in their proxy settings, 'http proxy' is selected.

OR you can enable the MSN messengers to use 'SOCKS Proxy' instead of 'http proxy'. Use the default port of 1080 (i think) and enable SOCKS on your MS Proxy Server 2.0.

click on "help" in messenger and search for "firewall"

It will com up with articles on how to configure messenger and what ports it uses.
