Thanks for the advice,<br />
<br />
I think the problem will be a router / firewall issue as it has only stopped working on the client machine as soon as we put a new router in. The old router was a BT one which doesnt have a firewall built in. <br />
<br />
I tried reinstalling MSMessenger and putting the IP of the server etc but that didnt work either.<br />
<br />
Ill try the router settings and ill report my findings

I have just installed a new hardware firewall for my clients network. It used to rely on ISA server but the firewall of that is disabled.<br />
<br />
The firewall is a Allied Telesyn router/firewall. We set up a port on the firewall but now one of the client PC's (the MD's) messenger wont work. Ive tried quite a few different things but to no avail. Reinstalling messenger, opening the port on the firewall, talking him out of using it but he wont have any of it. <br />
<br />
The server o/s is SBS2000. The comms is on ADSL. Im sure it cant be a major issue.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Hardware-based firewalls provide more sophisticated protection for inbound and outbound traffic than the simple Windows software firewall or the basic NAT firewalls found in routers. These devices implement techniques such as stateful packet inspection, deep packet inspection, and content filtering; and may include built-in antivirus and anti-malware protection.
