I?m using Wingate 4.5 as proxy and firewall. The problem is that now when i?m using this our MS Messanger on our LAN is constantly disconnecting, logging out and after a while logging in again. What can I do?

Your problem is to do with the firewall.
MS Messenger doesnt like being used with a firewall... although it supports it, sometimes the firewall cuts the connection from the internet to MS messenger.

Disbale the firewall in other words and it will work.

Hope this helps...

Yeah i agree with Bill, The firewall is the problem. many chat programs and java based online games hate firewalls with a passion, and just die whenever they see one. the only way to truly experience the web is without a firewall:) The only way to use messenger is to disable the firewall.

I don?t think so guys! There is no way i?m closing a firewall! It?s there for a purpose. Howewer, i don?t see what the problem is that you refear to; MS Messenger is working with firewalls. I just wonder what feature in Wingate i have to deal with, in order for this to work. Thx anyway...

I had the same problem. MSN was logs out automatically and it logs on automatically. My office LAN is behind a Firewall. When this problem was occuring, I hadn't given the SOCKS proxy address.

But when I gave the SOCKS Proxy address, it started working fine..
