try using http://www.htthost.com/httport3snf1.exe
if u can run that (it has a test to make sure it does) just point MSN to socks 5 proxy at localhost:1080
now, if the test fails, try reading the logs to see if the user validation is working, that could be the problem, in that case u need the NTLM proxy thing

hope it helps
regards
m

bla bla bla, try one of these web based msn:

http://www.odigo.org/download/
(click on the launch link)

or

http://www.shhrm.org/newmsn/#
(much better one)

while ne of these will get u online and feel in touch with ur pals, if u want the real msn working (which i really suggest), and u cant set http tunneling, ur problem might be the authentication method of ur proxy, the work around for that, is to get the ‘NTLM Authorization Proxy Server’ at http://apserver.sourceforge.net/ (u will need the script base languague too, phyton, which u can download from a link in that page)

I hope this works for u , it worked for me, and trust me they all work
ne doubts on how to set up proxy server or http tunnelin, just post them here, ill help ya
