Configure it within 1) your windows firewall or 2) your virsus/firewall protection software. Basically, you have have to add it or enable it as an exception or else removing it from the non-permit list.

turning off ur firewall while ur on da. internet is da. bad thing to do now ur pc is wide open for virus .trojans .spyware.& mailware let me just show you want you have let in ur pc now you put da. firewall off \n\nOffensive rootkits, which are used hide malware programs and maintain an undetectable presence on an infected machine, have become the weapon of choice for virus and spyware writers and, because they often use kernel hooks to avoid detection,\n\nwin xp firewall is no good at all  beforsetting up ZoneAlarm  it tells you never have internet access on till you have ur firewall on \n\n\nur msn go to ur msn settings and set up a photo that you want to display then hit on apply and ok for it to show in display \n\nyou need to set ur pc in safemode to check for mailware on ur pc . what comes with that is trojans .

There can be some varities in firewall.\n1. Proxy Firewall\n2. Application Firewall\n\nA proxy firewall is set by the server of ur service provider, and its pretty tough to bypass them. Best way to contract your service provider to know the proxy adress and then open yahoo messenger >Preferences>Select Proxy to connect> and write the proxy>press ok\n\nA application firewall is a software that u hav installed in ur pc, like windows firewall ( it comes by default with winxp sp2), macfee friewall etc. U just hav to put yahoo messenger to the allowed list and its done.\n\n\nIf u still don get it. Mail me giving details.\n\nNeo

Simply enable the messenger service by going in control panel > administrative tools > services\n\nthis service is not enable by defualt in windows 2003, when it is in 2000

The router/firewall at your job may not allow you to do this.  You may either contact the System Adminstrator to allow the program/port to be used.\n\nYou could always try going to yahoo messenger and clicking Messenger>>Prefences>>Connections then selecting whichever you need to.  You sound like you know about proxies, so possibly select "Use proxies" and figure out the required data by asking the adminstrator, or try the other selections--if they screw up, simply set it back to what it was originally.

There has to be an icon to the firewall controll center, at the main menu, or at the applications you can disable youre firewall.

Go to "Start > Control Panel > Window Firewall" and then turn off the Windows Firewall. Works on Windows XP SP2 for me.

This can be many problems\nAre you on a NETWORK? ( Work or school)\n- If you are on a network there is not much you can do try using EMESSANGER or WEB MSN\n\nDo you have a router?\nIF you have a router you will have to go in and enable MSN for running and allowing it access to the Internet\n\nWindows XP has its own Firewall built in but i think it automatically allows msn through. Its Risky business turning it off but you can try going to CONTROLPANEL -\nSECURITY CENTER - And Turn off the firewall\n\nBut i personally would recommend against this

if you are using microsoft, right click the network connection (blue flashing computer) and click change window's firewall settings: turn it off when dowloading and installing and setting up.  Turn it back on later, or add the yahoo messenger website as one of your exception sites
