Cannot Sign-in to Live Messenger from corporate network

Hi,

I am trying to resolve this problem since version 7.5. In version 7.0 users
were able to manualy configure http proxy and clear "Use TCP" checkbox, and
everything worked perfectly. I tried to stick to this version as long as I
could but now it is baned
In later versions messenger automaticaly detects settings from Internet
Explorer and users can not change anything, since then i get connection
error, code 80072746. I get exactly the same error if I click TCP Test in
Connection Settings. I compared registry values that change when manualy
configuring MSN messneger 7.0 with registry values of Live Messenger 8.5 and
they are the same.

Anybody has idea how to solve this problm? If I take same PC out of
corporate network to public internet, messenger works perfectly.

PS. http proxy server is "squid/2.5.STABLE1"

thanx

Greetings,

7.0 is not banned, you just need the latest version of it:
