SUMMARY
You may be unable to access Microsoft Chat or Internet Relay Chat (IRC)
rooms with Microsoft Chat if you are accessing the Internet from your
corporate network through a proxy server (a server on a local area network
that lets you connect to the Internet without using a modem).
MORE INFORMATION
If you are accessing the Internet from your corporate network through a
proxy server, you can download the Microsoft Chat program, but you may be
unable to access chat rooms. Microsoft Chat uses the standard chat port
(#6667), but most corporate proxy servers are not configured to allow
connections over this port. If you are unable to access chat rooms through
a proxy server using Microsoft Chat, contact your system administrator.
