Microsoft's MSN working, why aMSN is not?

[CrEsTo]

Hi folks

I'm running the .96 aMSN version on my MBP, while at school I can't sign in, as soon as I try to connect, aMSN says "Connection refused".

I thought they were blocking chats via a firewall, but then I installed paralles and WinXP for another proyect and I can connect to MSN via the old 4.7 Microsoft's client.

Any clue? I'd love to connect under OS X... and not have to open paralles just for MSN!

Thanks for your help.

Solved using HTTP method, instead of Direct connection.
