Cannot connect with window messenger

[Paul]

A friend of mine has the exact same problem. I tried to
check every possible thing I know, but it's still there.

It doesn't matter what username/password used. The
accounts work fine on other machines, but not on hers.

She's using XP Pro.

Anyone have any ideas on this one ? Any more info needed ?
