I'm having a problem connecting to any of my IM programs, except ICQ, since I
applied the sp2 update. Neither Windows Messenger or Yahoo can get past the
firewall (I think that's the problem). I've added each program to the
allowed list for the firewall, but it hasn't helped. The programs themselves
ask if I'm using a proxy, but I don't know the name to put in. I'm not on a
network... it's just my own PC using dialup. Any suggestions??? Thanks!!!
