i really really need to get on msn right now, can someone point me to a java site or something that works.
don't think you can. I'm trying though!
Doesn't messenger work where you are?
nope blocked ports at work
you can, there was 3 links on ocs forums, which is a bit useless now :rolleyes:
Found this, I've never used it tho...
web msn
i click ok and it does nothing !? :(
Hmm, I clicked OK and a java/applet thingy loads in the same page and asks for my msn username + pass... so looks like it works here. Try fiddling with your security settings in IE.
/edit
Signed in ok and can chat to friends
hmm that thing works here ok...
My guess would be that it is not a serverbased app and it still requires the ports to be open on the client.
Not that I'm a geek or anything :s
The applet should still load tho being as it is downloaded through the normal http ports.
/edit
Whats the default ports for messenger?
I'll try to see if they are still open here using the web client
What does 'Silent Sign In' mean? Signs you in without others knowing you are?
:( damnit, nm then. Probably blocking it on the router here :mad:
Yeah it signs you in with your status set to appear offline.Quote:

It should work fine as stated above because it should be using the http ports, maybe however it still needs to use the MSN ports, although that would defeat the point of a web version of MSN?
6891 to 6900 TCP in/outgoing for file transfers
1503 TCP application and whiteboard sharing
3389 TCP remote assist
443 Hotmail SSL
5004-65535 UDP incoming A/V real-time streams
Apparantly those are the MSN port, can you do file sending etc on the web version?
*edit* when i log into the web MSN thing, it seems to be connected on port 1863 so I doubt you will be able to use it Bindi, unless you can persuade the admin to open up MSN ports? *edit*
not a chance im able to pursuade admin, i shouldnt even be reading the forums :o
