Firewall
My office has some sort of firewall in place, which prevents me using
Messenger. Is there any way that I can bypass the restrictions so that
I can use Messenger without requiring the cooperation of the System
Administrator. Tag: Using .wmf image from clip art in emoticons Tag: 29554

Blocking outbound file transfer in MSN messenger v6
Hi..
I'm system administrator of a financial company,
and my boss required that all outbound file trasmission
through MSN v6 should be blocked ASAP..
It is suspected that someguy in our office, transmitted
sensitive file(including customer's private info) through
MSN v6 messenger..
Well, I found that it is very difficult to block outbound
file transfer between MSN v6's
In the previours version, I knew port 6891-6900 range..and
blocking those port would do..
Please let me know how to block outfound file transfer in
V6..
thanks in advance.. Tag: Using .wmf image from clip art in emoticons Tag: 29548

Logitech Camera not Working
I have looked everywhere and found no conclusive answers. Maybe one of you
can shed some light on this.
I have a Logitech QuickCam Express on an XP MSN 6.0 environment. The camera
works fine on netMeeting or on Movie Maker. The "Scanners and Cameras"
control panel applet also works fine... (it shows a live picture)
The problem is with MSN, when I use the "Audio and Tunning Wizard" and
choose the camera from the list a message appears stating that the camera I
selected is not working properly...
On other newsgroups and on Logitech site they mentioned problems if using
the Via chip (USB) and recommend an upgrade. I have done this with no
success.
My question is about the reasons the camera works fine with this other
software's except MSN Messenger in the same PC!!!???
Is there any incompatibility?
Thanks
LC
Note: I didn't install any drivers from Logitech... I am using the plain XP
drivers. Tag: Using .wmf image from clip art in emoticons Tag: 29536

Maintaining microphone preferences
Running the newest MSN Messenger 6.0.0602, is there a way to set
microphone preferences up outside of Audio/Video Tuning Wizard?
I have a laptop with a USB camera / microphone that I will plug in as
desired. But, everytime I unplug the USB device (or boot my laptop
with the camera unplugged), if MSN Messenger is running (which it is
because I always start the program on start-up) my microphone always
defaults to the built in sound card microphone. Thus, after plugging
in the cameram, if I forget to run the wizard I'll do an audio call
and find I have no mic. Then I exit audio, run wizard, and restart
audio.
What I am looking for is someway to have a "preference order" on the
microphone such that I can set it up for USB camera mike, then
built-in sound card mike, then none.
Perhaps this is a feature request :)
Any ideas?

loadqm.exe
I recently disabled this file through my start-up folder.
When I did I had trouble with logging in and out of hotmail through
Messenger which caused web pages and, at one point my system, to crash.
Out of intrigue more than anything else, I re-enabled the file. Since I
have done this my firewall has been flooded with non-stop connection
attempts [mostly to port 135].
I have read up on this file and no-one seems to have a straight answer
as to it's purpose other than a relation to MSN Messenger. One enquirer
was even told to stop being paranoid and just live with it.
This is chuff all to do with paranoia - I am well aware M$ probably have
my inside leg measurement, despite my best efforts to counteract info
retrieval on their part - this is about my, already crappy, dial-up
connection getting flooded therefore reducing the amount of bandwidth
available to me. And THAT pisses me off.
So... if anyone can allay my fears or offer some kind of solution to
this "issue" I'd be more than grateful. Tag: Using .wmf image from clip art in emoticons Tag: 29475

New version available
Due to repeated Registry errors I have uninstalled MSN Messenger v5.0
and installed the previous v4.6 which now appears to have solved the
problem with Windows 98 SE starting. I may have to use v4.6
indefinitely.
I am now getting frequent reminders that a new version is available for
download:
1) A popup up dialogue box in the System Tray when I logon onto MSN that
drops away after about 40 seconds.
2) A banner-ad type pane in the MSN Messenger v4.6 GUI that persists
throughout the session.
Are there any tweaks to get rid of or hide these reminders? Tag: Using .wmf image from clip art in emoticons Tag: 29439

decided to change my MSN address as I have a business now
and would like to use it for technical support on my

told to try again later. Well I have tried again and again
for a days now, and it seems later is non-existant.

MSN Messenger is working fine , but :
My firewall alerts me every time :
"Do you want to allow Messenger to act as a server ?
I am not sure if it refers to Windows Messenger ( which is also present by

Why is that ?
Is it a must to allow it to act as a server ?
When acting as a server, it has access to any dir on my computer ?
If yes, how can I restrict accesss to a minimun ?

Jonathan, (spell it correctly this time!) tried that but still the
same.
However, I run Agnitum Outpost, tried switching that off and it works
ok. Before this upgrade it worked perfectly with Outpost running,
does this mean that in order to run Messenger I'll have to disable my
firewall? Seems to defeat the object of having one, no? Is there any
way around this, ideally I would like to run with the firewall active
as I'm on a broadband connection and messenger is on all the time. Is
there any way I can revert to as I was previously? I'm sure I 'll
forget to switch the firewall back on! I run XP and have that
firewall switched off.
Thanks
