I don't remember) which has some sort of known bug when connecting via SSL proxies or something, so he has had quite a lot of difficulty in getting it to connect properly.</p> <p>I think the manual ( -L ) options work. And there is supposed to be an update to fix the issue correctly.</p>tag:limedaley.com,2018:/isso/30/2862009-10-29T06:09:38ZShantanu<p>i am in a university campus where we have a specific proxy settingd but i am unable to cnnect the windows live messenger. I hv already put the proxy settings and username and password for it, but i think the problem persosts because of the SOCKS settings? Do i have to use the same settings as of proxy for the SOCKS also...</p>
