RE: [Fwd: Windows Messenger 4.7 and XP SP2]

I can’t speak to the SP2 upgrade, but on the messenger home page (http://messenger.microsoft.com), you’ll find this link:

 

“To download a version of Windows Messenger that works with both .NET Messenger Service, SIP Communication Service, and Microsoft® Exchange 2000 Server, click here.”

 

This will take you to the download page for Windows Messenger 5.0 at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=77c3799f-6388-4193-8002-be55584c1ac1&DisplayLang=en. I’m using the 5.0 client to simultaneously connect to the .NET Messenger Service and a SIP Communications Service (Live Communications Server in my case).  Here’s the connections dialog:

 

 

And here’s the configuration options for Advanced SIP tab:

 

 

Hope this helps.  You could also get a quick, definitive answer by posting to the Windows Messenger newsgroup at news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsxp.messenger.

 

If this fails and you have specific questions, I’m happy to run to the development team directly.

Hi

 

I recently had the same problem.  I loaded the Windows XP SP2 and _it_

"upgraded" Windows Messenger so that I could not use SIP anymore.  I use

the word "upgraded" with respect to Microsoft's definition!

 

To get Microsoft Messenger working again I had to down load Messenger

from the microsoft web site and reinstall it.  Once installed the old

SIP settings were in the new Install.

 

Anyone got a way to bring this to the attention of Microsoft?

 

Stephen

Hi,

 

Have you noticed that windows messenger (4.7 in my case) seems to be

updated by XP service pack 2 to 4.7.3000? I noticed because I couldn't

find settings for my SER SIP server anymore :-(

This might affect SIP implementations that have been supporting windows

mesenger so far. I'm afraid the only current windows SIP client that

supports presence is sipc, wave3 and xten coming out with versions soon :-(
