Whats type of network is your friend using? Ive never heard of any network not allowing downloading of instant messenger programs.

 

[MrDepressed]

ask them to try this site and see if they can log into messenger from there... http://www.ebuddy.com/

Go to http://webmessenger.msn.com/ , click launch msn web messenger , login to hotmail or msn account, start chatting.

Let me no if you have any problems or questions.

 

[Jodi]

the whole point is....this person is not allowed to acces any regular chat, msn, aol, google, none of them.....they are blocked behind thier firewall??? any sugesstions????

 

[Is This It]

have you tried what I said yet, it should work

 

[Jodi]

yes, but your option requires a download of the service.....this person wont be able to download???

 

[Is This It]

you don't have to download it, it works in a browser window. Try it yourself and see

You could take down the firewall...but that isnt really a great idea I guess. :unsure:

ebuddy is a good one though. Its how I get around not being able to use MSN and AIM at school, I was gonna mention it but its been mentioned.
