Rathamon Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 okay , I cant seem to connect with GAIM to MSN from inside university , I dont know whether this is due to MS locking gaim out of uni locking MSN out, MSN was disabled on the windows machines but USED to work on the linux machines until last night, error I get it "protocol not supported" anyone else had this problem?

rezza Veteran Posted October 16, 2003 Veteran Share Posted October 16, 2003 MSN working fine for me on GAIM 0.71... i think you need at least 0.70 to get the MSN protocol fix... they have locked some clients out, yes, but Trillian, GAIM, and some others can still access it ok.

aupperton Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 I think it's related to the version of GAIM you are using. I was on version 0.68 and as of this morning I couldn't access MSN with the same Portocol problem. However having just installed version 0.71 it's all working now.

splatnix Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 Any program using MSN Protocol v7 or below can no longer connect to the MSN IM Network. You need to use a program that has Protocol v8 or v9 (preferably v9). Whatever client you use, make sure you are using the most recent relsease of that product. Windows Messenger: go to WindowsUpdate and upgrade MSN Messenger: upgrade to version 6 or higher GAIM for Linux: use version 0.70 or higher from skandalfo (623756) on slashdot:In order to Gaim 0.7[01] to compile and use the MSN plugin supporting the new MSN protocol, you have to install the proper development files for the Mozilla/Netscape security libraries (SSL support required by the new protocol). In my Mandrake 9.0 system, the packages are: [skandalfo@cat skandalfo]$ rpm -qa | grep libns libnss3-1.1-10mdk libnspr4-devel-1.1-10mdk libnspr4-1.1-10mdk libnss3-devel-1.1-10mdk SUSE systems also have mozilla development packages, but these are installed to non-standard locations, and you'll have to provide their locations to Gaim's configure script manually. RedHat systems should behave mostly like Mandrake. GAIM for Windows: use version 0.70 or higher Trillian Basic: upgrade to 0.74F Trillian Pro: 2.0 is reported to be working Other clients, such as Miranda, aMSN, and such all have reports of working.

Fotix Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 If having problem w/ Miranda, all you have to do is check the box under Options -> Network -> MSN -> Use MSN Protocol v.8 and you're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizkit Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 I use Trillian Pro 2 and it is great, although I can't figure out how to get the user pics to update when they change pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
