Re: [squid-users] MSN Messenger an wb_ntlmauth

Hello, George.
Thanks for your answer. Sadly, your suggestion didn't work. This was almost
the same way we had MSN messenger configured here, and changing the
difference didn't work.
I have to say that because of firewall rules, users aren't allowed to access
the external world without a proxy. We made a temporal rule in the firewall
for one user to be able to get out directly (but configured his wks to use
the proxy) and he could connect, but it seems that when messenger realizes
that can't connect through the proxy, tries the direct connection. As you
could expect, when we deleted this rule in the firewall, the user wasn't
able to connect anymore.
I'm pretty sure that the problem is in the configuration file I have in my
squid server. I'll try to figure it out and if I solve it I'll let you know.
Thanks again!
Any additional help would be appreciated.
Kind regards,

--Claudio
