wireless problems on macbook

[macbookcanada]

Hello, i'm using the wireless internet at my schools library and i cannot sign into msn messenger or yahoo messenger, or use download tools like azures. does anyone know why that is? and is there anyway of getting around it...


ps. the pc users messengers work just fine.

Can you use those apps on different internet networks (at home)? Can you browse with Safari? Does your network require a specific proxy set? If so, you might need to ask your administrator for a PAC file that'll get you these settings.

Ya, everything works else where(home,work), and everything works on the public server except, messenger, azures(safari is working great..same with skype)


thanks for the help, any other idea's people are more than welcome to post!

Ahh, okay. This is most likely a port block from your network administrator. Maybe ask the head of IT to confirm if that's the problem.
