Damnit - the computers on campus have blocked MSN and other chat clients yet I still see people with their MSN online. How do they do it?
I was able to connect using Easy Message (www.easymessage.net) but I think they caught onto that as well.
I need help! Any tips and tricks will be appreciated. Thanks in advance! |

| It's not the computers that block the Msn service. A firewall is probably configured to block all traffic fot a specific port, in this case the port that messenger uses. This is the most likely reason. You can't do anything about that unless you know some about hacking a firewall, or something... |

yeah i thought it would be a firewall but I still see people logged on Msn here and there and they don't look like computer wizards to me - it doesnt make sense...
i thought there might be an html based chat client that routes your messages online or something of that nature... |

| The same thing happens at my school, yet people use it. I think they're tunneling, I haven't got around to asking yet... |

| Maybe it is somehow possible to configure msn to use another port like some random 6938 that probably isn't blocked. |

route all msn chat traffic thru port 80, that should sort it
as the firewall cant block port 80 unless they dont want any http traffic...
but its likely that theyre running thru proxies, so that might rule the above out... |

| use a third party client that can use port 80 instead... (like amsn.sf.net) |
