Well comming back to the problem, well yeah I have used HTTP-Tunnel, there is another program silimar to it, Socks2http, Socks2HTTP is an agent converting SOCKS v.5 requests into HTTP requests and tunneling them through HTTP proxy. SOCKS allows programs to traverse firewalls on any port number and is used by many popular programs, like Morpheus, MSN Messenger, ICQ, AOL IM, FTP, Telnet, and many others. Many companies restrict firewall traversals only to HTTP requests, disabling SOCKS proxy. Socks2HTTP provides a lightweight SOCKS server for the SOCKS client, performing its connection through an HTTP proxy.
Both HTTP-Tunnel and Socks2HTTP are sharewares, the free version of HTTP-Tunnel restricts the user to bandwidth of 1.5kbps, and the paid versions bandwidth is maximum 30kbps, which means frequent disconnection.
Now in the Messenger you can use HTTP proxy (if proxy network) at port 80, and MSN can solve this problem if the problem doesn’t solve then, I found a solution, most universities, schools and offices, to avoid all access to MSN Messenger they clear the registry of the MSN server, to put it back
1. In the registry, navigate to: HKURSoftwareMicrosoftMessengerService
2. Find the item named Server: if it shows Null;0.0.0.0:0 then change this value to messenger.hotmail.com;64.4.13.50:1863 or messenger.hotmail.com;207.46.104.20:1863Another way of blocking the MSN Messenger is Administrator Puts a line in hosts file on the pc which tells the MSN Messenger to look for the MSN server on localloopback. 127.0.0.0 gateway.messenger.hotmail.com is the server address to use, if its done MSN never signs in.
The Administrator creates an access rule to block the IP range when a user tries to sign in. They blocked 64.4.13.170- 64.4.13.190 as an access rule, and the Messenger Never signs in even if you use any HTTP Proxy, or port, we can use other IP address supported by MSN to do this in the registry use 207.46.104.20, this is the only IP address that I know and I use this IP address.
If the Administrator did block msn i sure do think they did set some security policy if your using Windows NT and Windows 2000 or Windows XP and you wont be aboul to change the registry file to set back the value that urxlnc told you.
