I installed trillian on my college terminal, were behind a fire wall on campus... I managed to get icq/aim/yim to function; however, MSN is refusing to work.

this is the error message I get

trillian msn window wrote:*** Creating connection "(email removed)"
*** Disconnecting.
*** Connecting to MSN as "(email removed)", attempt #1.
*** Failed to connect to MSN (10056).

Can anyone help?

MSN initally opens up an SSL connection to authenticate, so you may need to configure your proxy to allow secure connections.

What would I choose?
currently I am connected through http, should I choose socks 4/5?

I get that problem a lot. All I do is select Remove Connection, then select Connection Manager, and try to connect again. After 2 or 3 times, it connects. However, if it is something with your firewall, I can't help, cause I don't have one.
