I know this is a mislocated request, and I don't care. And I know you don't either.

I've never been able to get MSN Messenger to work. Why? When signing in I always get the message "Unable to connect to SOCKS proxy server. Check your settings".

What is the fuck?

you have to be a little more specific about your setup..

do you use a proxy?
do you use a firewall andd/or router

is this at work or home?

Do not use a proxy, as far as I know. (Which is why I should probably ignore this SOCKS shit, eh?)

Do not use a firewall that I know of, but we do use a router (at work: an Efficient Networks router, and at home: an Asante router, I believe), and I suppose there might be a firewall in there?

This does not work at home nor the office.

I was expecting a response like rparis'. But Timis, please work magic.
