I had the latest Kerio firewall installed, but that failed the grc leaktest. I downloaded and installed the latest ZoneAlarm 6 Pro.

I have installed MSN messenger 7.5 and it won't connect now. I have made it a super user and given it all the ticks in permissions but it still wont connect.

Any ideas please?

Thanks!

Do you know what other services msn messenger requires? I have given Generic Host processes 32 complete access...
