Then select the "Advanced" tab, -> Now click on "Network" tab.
Click "Settings" button for Connection, Select "Manual Proxy Configuration"
Enter the IP and port. Tick "use this proxy server for all protocols", click OK...and Ok, done "

IE:
Click on the "Tools" menu -> Select "Internet options".
Click the "Connections" tab -> Select "Lan Settings".
On the "Proxy Server" section, tick "Use a proxy server for your LAN" Enter the IP and port.
Tick "bypass proxy server for local address", click OK..OK and done.

Note: The MSN Messenger proxy settings is linked with IE's proxy settings so you just need to add the new proxy server in IE and MSN Messenger will follow IE's settings.

Please give feedback regarding which proxies work for you and which doesn't.
