212252 2004-02-02 03:35:00 I'm toying around with MSN Messenger, but find that I cannot connect at work through our networked Jetstream modem. I checked a Win 98 PC and it connects fine and yet does not seemed to be configure any different.
As said, I'm using O/SX.

Any ideas. I just keep getting told that I'm not connected to the internet.
Sour Apple here!

212253 2004-02-02 03:40:00 I'm having the same problem at the moment running XP Pro...however the other XP Pro box on my network connects fine :S, also when I run Mandrake 9.1 off my computer it connects fine thru AMSN. Very wierd indeed.

212256 2004-02-03 21:53:00 Have you tried re adding it or removing it & re adding it.

I think that is what you do on an Apple computer. ?:|

212258 2004-02-04 07:26:00 What version are you using, I have no problems with OS 10.3 (AKA Panther) and Messenger, (you haven't installed any firewall software have you?) Marshell (3757)
212259 2004-02-04 20:24:00 I'm not using a Firewall.
My O/S is 10.1.5

I've tested this on more than one similar configured mac and get the same problem.

212260 2004-02-05 02:17:00 Yeah, had this problem at uni on the network. Had to set the proxy server on msn to the internet gateway, which I guess is the address of your adsl. rsnic (3780)
212261 2004-02-05 02:32:00 I tried sticking in my ADSL address in the Proxy thing, No joy.
The Modem is a DSL500 Dlink.

I looked at the mac forum suggested by someone earlier. Kinda fraidy that I'd get flamed for talking about a Microsoft product...
Very anti anything not Apple...

Get a life MacAddicts.
I don't care I... I'd happily have one of each.
