Anybody IT expert here know how to unlock the block for MSN. My office blocked my msn........

Even ebuddy is blocked.

HELP

where are you located? do you use net connection by etisalat or connection in DIC? lemme know and might be able to help you

Well here's a good one, good old Etisalat have blocked my hotmail at home! I can't log onto my email address or MSN. Works fne at work and can log into my mum's but not mine, how do I get around that?

i dont think its with etisalat,

i can log into MSN live and my hotmail account without any problems. If it was a block by etisalat no one would have been able to log on to msn. I think its a temporary glitch which will get sorted out by itself, but now if someone knows its been blocked by the office IT department there is a way around it( which works in 90% of the cases).

cheers,

Use web messenger at work, its your only solution.

http://webmessenger.msn.com/

OR

www.iloveim.com

Well I can log into it in the office, as we're free from Etisalat blocks there, but at home when I enter my user name and password, the Etisalat blocked screen appears.

check ur pm chocs and see if that works, if it doesnt let me know.

Aaahhhhhhhhhh- hhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I found a rare genius techie at Etisalat who told me to remove the secure proxy address in the settings, and it works now - yipee!

lol so finally it wasnt etisalat,

cool

Well it was blocking my personal pages for some reason, so the removal allowed it to by-pass whatever was blocking the pages.

the links i sent u can be used to access other pages which are blocked by them so neways they will be useful to you if needed:)

jeeevan me too help , they stoped my msn and all the links here are blocked

Well at work if they block stuff you cant get around the MSN issue because they will be bloking anything that communicates via a specific Port , MSN uses a different port to normal internet browsing.

If your company blocks specific websites (ie not at the Etisilat level but only on a company level) you can try using a proxy server to browse the Internet
