It was my understanding that MSN Messenger and AOL and similiar IM programs would automatically change the output port to find an open port for communication, including ports such as 20, 21, 25 and even 80.

Chances are that your employer is using a HTTP proxy of sometype that wouldn't jive with the MSN protocol. Your best bet is to go back to work or get a job in the networking department of the company. Smilie

MSNSETUP(2)						       msnsetup User Manual						       MSNSETUP(2)

NAME
msnsetup - An interactive program to setup msn accounts to use with the msn utility. SYNOPSIS
msnsetup [profilename] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the msnsetup command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. msnsetup is a program delivered with the msn utility. It is used to interactively configure the account to be used with msn. The program can optionally take one parameter which is the name of the profile where you want to store your account information. This is particularly useful when you want to have more than one account configured, and then you can choose which profile to use with the msn utility. FILES
${HOME}/.msn/msnrc The default configuration file for the account information, stored by msnsetup. ${HOME}/.msn/msnrc-{profilename} The configuration file for a specific profile name that stores that account information, chosen by the user and stored by msnsetup. BUGS
The program is currently limited to only work with the msn utility. SEE ALSO
