Hello,

I've setup Instant Messaging service on SBS 2000 server on my network. When
I try to connect using the Windows Messenger v.5 client on Windows XP I get
the following error:

"Windows Messenger"
"SOCKS 5 proxy authentication failed."

The issue here is that I've explicitly disabled the "I use a proxy server"
setting on the connection tab of the IM client but still get the error. I'm
at a loss, please help.

Thanks,
Jed
 
maybe you can uncheck bypass proxy server for local
address or add the windows messenger server name in the
do not user proxy server for addresses beginning with :
 
Darlie,

Thanks for the idea. I'm assuming you are referring to the Internet
Explorer settings to make these changes. I tried it, unfortunately it
didn't make a difference. Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Jed
