web-based MSN Messenger?

[Kajinku]

It's my question day today :P

Anyway, do any of you guys know a good web-based (and free) MSN Messenger? Messenger is being blocked by the firewall at my work, which is not cool, especially when I have nothing to do. Instead of reading the forum every 15 minutes I could annoy a couple of people in my list... I know there are some, but I just can't find them.

Thanks!

[Kitiara]

Nope... I have the same problem with my firewall. :sure:

[Kajinku]

It sucks :(

[TheOrangeOne]

i didn't even know these things existed! that would be so cool. Like a chat room, but better.....

[Kajinku]

It exists, but it's not free here: www.mister-i.com
The interface sucks too. It worked for 3 days... now I have to pay if I want to use it again.

trillian works through company firewalls sometimes. :beam:

[TheOrangeOne]

never heard of that. whats the link?

*edit*
got it!

its not web based, its a regualr messenger, but it allows you to connect to AIM, MSN, ICQ, IRC, and YAHOO. try setting it up like normal, and if it wont conenct, then i believe you can mess with the preferences and perhaps get it working. :)

*edit*
woops, just saw your edit. hehehe

[Kajinku]

ARGH! No! It doesn't work! :(

[Illuminae]

:( im sorry. there used to be an online thing that would connect, let me see if i can find it again.

[Illuminae]

this looks quite itneresting.

i think i may put it up on one of my sites. hrmmm.

[Kajinku]

Tried this one, didn't work either...
It really has to be web-based, not too well-known, 'cause they block everything here!!

[Illuminae]

yeha, but that can be web based. i dunno how cuz i didnt read too much, so maybe i'm wrong, but i'm pretty sure it can be just an inline messenger.

[TheOrangeOne]

trillian seems to be working, but not well .it connects for about 10 mins, then goes again. What did you mean by playing with the settings anyway?

this looks cool, but whats it about? does it integrate directly into your web page? put it in simple terms for me, i couldn't be bothered to read the site sorry!

[Illuminae]

orange - look into the preferences... see if theres anything you can tweak there, like firewall settings or something. also, im not sure how integrity works, but i have found a few other solutions perhaps to you guys's dilemma

[TheOrangeOne]

oops, you were too quick for me :)

[Illuminae]

they call me "quick draw golgi" ;)

[Kajinku]

Odigo.org is blocked here, but I'm going to give the other one a try tomorrow morning. If it works, I'll virtually kiss your feet. ;)

[Illuminae]

groooooovy. :beam: good luck!

edited smiley

[TheOrangeOne]

hey, if you can get a solution, i shall kiss more than your feet!

[TheOrangeOne]

odigo express works, but it says all my friends are off line. Im still getting messages off them though, but it wont let me reply cos it says they are off line! HELP!!!!!!

[Illuminae]

perhaps you can kiss my elbows then, seeing as i can not do that myself... ;)

let me take a look at odigo and see what sup

[Illuminae]

ok, i got an odigo account, and i got it to let me log in, but i cant get it to let me add my account. piece of crap. grr. i will try something new

[TheOrangeOne]

heh, thankyou *kisses elbow*

[Illuminae]

ok orange, i got mine working just fine. i dunno what could be wrong with yours. maybe try restarting it? i dunno. i couldnt get it to work right with IE, i had to use netscape. maybe try it in that? if you want ill give you my name and we can try and figure it out

[TheOrangeOne]

sounds good. my name is (wait for it....) "TheOrangeOne" and my msn is "orange_olly@hotmail.com":thumb:

[TheOrangeOne]

are you "beebopdeediddlydopdog@inpro.net" by any chance?

[Illuminae]

yep

[TheOrangeOne]

heh, im receiving your messages, but it wont let me reply. It keeps insisting you are off line, even though you are so blatently not!

[Illuminae]

lol. that is odd. it says you are online. what browser are you using? did you try closing it and redoing it?

[TheOrangeOne]

yeah. i think its somthing to do with my company firewall. Maybe i should try downloading netscape?

[TheOrangeOne]

try now! its working again!

[Illuminae]

yeah, do it on netscape, i think it might be IE cuz it didnt work for me.

[Kajinku]

Nothing works! That Lycos thingy (even the one I don't have to install) totally blocks. CRAP COMPANY!!

Sorry golgi, no feet kissing from me, but you get a star sticker on your forehead... or something. ;)

[Illuminae]

its ok, orange kissed me enough for both of you :P
(anywhere i wanted too :P:P:P)

anywhoo, you tried the one me an orange got working??
i cant believe that wouldnt work since its just an applet.. hrrrmmmmmmm... i know nothing about this...lol!!!

[Kajinku]

Yeah, I tried everything. I thought "yay" when I saw the Lycos thingy connecting, but then it blocked. The other ones are "access denied". Stupid American company with its stupid American firewall to stop stupid American online messengers. ;)

[Illuminae]

:( im sorry. maybe there is yet another way...
keep on truckin frog man!

[Kajinku]

No problem. :) And I will find a way! Frog man (erm) always does! *green glow in eyes*

[Kajinku]

EDIT: Nevermind, this doesn't work either...

OK, I need a favour... can someone post the *direct link* to download the Odigo messenger at www.odigo.org?

I need it to right click the link and choose "save target as".
Yes, I'm still trying to find a way. :)

Please please please please please please please please! :)

[TheOrangeOne]

want me to e-mail the file to you?

[Kajinku]

No, I found the direct link on www.download.com. I installed it and everything but blocks when trying to connect to MSN. I really need a 100% web based one, where I don't need to install anything. Like ICQ Go (which works by the way).

Thanks anyway! :)

[kit_oleyix]

hi, not sure if you've found any solutions yet. i have the same problems at work but what i did was once MSN is installed, i rename the file msnmsgr.exe to msnmsgr1.exe - under program files folder. try that. it worked for me.

[DarkChild]

i has been almost 2 years, so i think it's safe to say he found a solution ;)

[minimalistik]

This thread is defeintely old but Kajinku, you ever tried Gush? From www.2entwine.com Its a cross platform flash based instant messenger. Been around for a while but it has RSS feeds and blog as well. Prew: http://www.2entwine.com/screenshots/pic5.html
