| | Windows Live Messenger - Firewall rules I am running Windows Vista RC2 and I am having problems signing in to Windows Live Messenger. When I am in a public network, Messenger works fine. But it refuses to sign-in when I am in my corporate domain. After several retries it connects once, but shows no one as Online. I am certain it is a Windows Firewall rule that is getting affected from Group Policy (Our domain runs Windows Server 2003 Active Directory). On the same laptop, same domain in Windows XP SP2, Messenger runs fine. So I am unable to pin point on the problem. I tried allowing all inbound/outbound connections, still no use. Disabling Windows Firewall makes it work fine though. Any tip will be appreciated. Regards, Venkat |
