Darn. There goes the easy fix. :(

With Windows XP between altertions to the proxy settings make absolutely
sure that "proxycfg -u" is run by the admin account. I know there was
quite a muddle of where windows network apps pulled their proxy settings
from during that era. It could be some sub-system below messenger not
picking the settings up properly.

All thats left then is a game of test-and-see to find the differences. A
tcpdump/wireshark trace of the connection traffic for both a proxied and
non-proxied connection from Windows Messenger (NOT the Live version)
will probably be needed to see if there are any other side channels
being made. Or to trace any difference in the headers used.

Great. That means you have a repeatable working and non-working for the
comparisons above.
