<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=257104402-16062005><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2> it depends on what proxy setup you have.
We are using ISA 2004 and messenger cant get through it. Internet connections
have to go through the proxy to get out and messenger doesn't make it through,
even with the right proxy settings in it. As for other setups, I'm not
sure.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sorry for this unrelated topic.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>My technician and I have reached the limit of our
patience and knowledge with MSN Messenger and other messenger
services.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Students are running rampant at our school (they use
laptops) and we have tried some methods of blocking the program, such as
firewall URL blocks and local computer policies. The local computer policy was
the best until we discovered it blocked access from home as well.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>So back to the drawing board.</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would very much like to hear from laptop schools
who have successfully blocked Messenger and other messenger services, if they
exist.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>PS Please don't let this become a discussion on the
virtues of laptops vs. desktops.</FONT> <BR><I><FONT face=Arial
