I am using a proxy server(proxy+) for accessing internet. I cant use msn messanger.It says "cant connect to server".
I browse through the net with out any problems, and i use yahoo mesanger too.

I have given the proxy address and port in msn messanger,still i coudn't connect.

My proxy uses port 1863 for http.
Can any one help.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the world of Microsoft. I don't if this applies to you, but I use MS proxy Client, and if I enter proxy settings in any program other than MSIE, I receive errors. I have to set them all to not use a proxy server in order for them to connect.

Try going into your lan settings in internet explorer and set use the same proxy server for all protocols. This is under the connection tab, lan settings, and then the advanced button

Just to drop you a note and say that at college we use a server that connects to another server which connects to the internet.
At one time we had MSN version 3.0 running and it wouldn't connect but since we got the latest version 3.5 it works fine.
Also i agree with the last answer. Use the proxy settings for your server and it should work. Hope this sheds some light.
