Hello, I have found a workaround to make Messenger work using NTLM authentication.
At http://apserver.sourceforge.net/ it is possible to download a tool (APS) that stands as an intermediate proxy between the client and Squid. You only need to install APS and Python and then set APS as a local proxy in Messenger.

Most likely the Messenger version you are usi g does not support NTLM authentication to HTTP proxies. Try makeing sure Basic authentication is enabled as well in your squid configuration. Regards Henrik ### I'm using Microsoft Messenger 6.1 (latest version). Unfortunately, I can't use basic authentication because my organization security policy does not allow password to be transmitted over the network in clear text.
