O2 PAYG & MSN messenger connection.. help needed!

Hey everyone

Ive got a little problem that I need help with! Im sure im not the only one as the lack of FULL GPRS on O2 payg is a little annoying sometimes to say the least!

Right.. well...

Using the o2 payg sim and the right settings it IS possible to get on most webpages using the following proxy and port:

193.113.200.195:8080

IF you use the C500 as a modem you can do the same on a desktop PC as long as you use the proxy above, and connect via GPRS and have access to most sites.

I then tried out using the same proxy on MSN messenger (on the PC) and BINGO!! It works great! You can sign in, send/recieve messages etc with no problems at all.

Ive tried and tested this time and again, and trust me, it works..BUT ONLY ON THE PC, NOT ON THE PHONE!!

Now for my question:

Does the "proxys" settings in data connections actually force MSN to use the proxy, or just Internet explorer?

Ive noticed that any other software (opera, agile messenger etc) dont use the proxy at all. It seems that only internet explorer will actully use the proxy.

SO.... how do I force Messenger to use this proxy and let me connect? Is there a registry setting??

A solution to this problem would help many people, and to my knowlege no one has asked this exact question before.

Any other comments would be appriciated!!

Many thanks!
