William,

Interesting. During my investigation I tried to do just what you did and
it didn't work. MSN just went right around me and used port 80 instead of
1863. Tricky that!

Are your users on MSN Messenger 5? 

In my case IP addresses will change 'cause of DHCP and the fact that
different users use the same machines.
