Download for MSN / Windows Messenger

[sh33n]

Could some kind person do me a favour and stick a zipped up copy of the installer for MSN or Windows Messenger on a ftp site somewhere?

Cheers

can u not download it mate?

 

[sh33n]

All sites are blocked, hence need a 3rd party link

It will probably be blocked when I do get it downloaded, but I want to know this first before raising my "Business Need" with IT!

[Oggy997]

Uploading 1st file here Sh33n - Ill PM you details

 

[sh33n]

Got it installed, and as expected it doesn't allow me to login.

Thanks for the help Oggy!

 

[Oggy997]

No problem

They've prob blocked the possible ports.

Thanks for the help Oggy!

I don't *think* it's the ports, but may well be.

This is the problem moving to job where you don't control infrastructure, well not company wide connection infrastructure

They've prob blocked the possible ports.

Got it installed, and as expected it doesn't allow me to login.

Thanks for the help Oggy!

I don't actually need it for chatting to friends etc.

We want to use it within our team (of about 6) spread across the country. For the purpose of sharing desktops / apps quickly, chatting, quickly send files, etc etc.

Anyone got any recommendations?

Irc channel for chatting / sending????

RealVNC will grant access to desktop

Not sure if they fit your criteria but a suggestion nonetheless.

They sort of do, but it's all seperate apps etc, and they just don't fit all the criteria so easily if that makes sense.

Cheers for the suggestions though.

 

[Oggy997]

Yeah - just a few off the top of my head.

Im away to work - Ill have a think in there

We use Office Communicator 2005 sh33n at work, so if there's a genuine business need you could try that avenue?

Tis just like MSN, but err uses your Outlook GAL instead

Don't you need Live Communication Server for this to work?

I'm guessing you could use IM via Exchange though?

 

[cava83]

Can do.

Office communicator is excellent, i use it here at work with my colleagues and some other offices.

Good kit.

You can only use messenger via exchange upto version 2000. From 2003 -> you need LCS.

Wish I had some 15 yr old girls to chat up


:dead:


Seriously this is for work.

Cookie, what's needed to get that Office Communicator off the ground then? As it does look quite smart!

Do you need Live Communication Server?!

I can probably get it off my MSDN Subscription and slap it on one the sessions on the VMWare box for now to test it out.
