One guess what "deny" means ? The default configuration which allows your local network machines to do anything safe will also allow them to open regular HTTP and HTTPS connections to MSN. All you need to do on top of the defaults is add the port 1863 to Safe_ports and SSL_ports which will allow the instant messages to go out as well. Connecting to MSN over proxy is only a backup method. MSN will attempt it's own native connections first. You should open the port on the firewall to allow the MSN program to connect out. Amos
