BTW, this script does not / can not do anything for the voice/video problem that still plagues IM users and NAT devices. -- Jim Harrison MCP(NT4, W2K), A+, Network+, PCG http://isaserver.org/pages/author_index.asp?aut=3 http://isatools.org Read the help / books / articles! "Jim Harrison" <jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote in message news:#wyG9hAlCHA.2480@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Lots of folks noticed a failure in connecting via Windows messenger recently and that they seem to be (mostly) fixed now. Along with some other issues we couldn't control, some new things that came out of the whole bruhaha (hee-hee-ho-ho): 1. MSNIM Messenger is now a different application than Windows Messenger and yes, they can (sorta) coexist on the same machine 2. another FW client app setting is involved for the new messenger I've updated http://isatools.org/msnim.vbs to accommodate this change and I've also answered the problem of folks running the script after they've tried to manually enter the settings (causing the script to bomb). It doesn't choke if the settings exist; it just deletes and then recreates them properly. As usual, bugs, comments, small, unmarked bills can be sent to jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Jim Harrison MCP(NT4, W2K), A+, Network+, PCG http://isaserver.org/pages/author_index.asp?aut=3 http://isatools.org Read the help / books / articles!
