You can use ntlm, this is an open source python application which does the authentication for you (try googling for it, I don't remember the URL) on NT. You use it on PC1 as a child-proxy. You put the NT username and password in its config file and let MSN Messenger communicate through this ntlm. This is however a very dirty solution ;).
I personally think it is a damn bug in MSN that it is not able to do this kind of thing. At the office I work we have M$-Proxy (unfortunately) which gives the same trouble. It is a shame that two M$ products cannot work together properly.... But hey, what would you expect from the guys who brought you edlin? ;) Regards, Pim ----------------------------------------- PingWings - Let your network take flight - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - M: 06-28474259 E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I: www.pingwings.nl ----------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: danilo lujambio [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: vrijdag 20 juni 2003 14:16 To: debian-isp@lists.debian.org Subject: proxy help Hi: I am working in a scope plenty of MS windows, we have the oportunity to start to replace some of them by linux. We need to solve this problem : PC 1 default MS win --------- gw ----------- gateway PC1 | | | Linux BOX | | ip public --------------- INTERNET in the linux box we have a proxy squid , it authenticate against PDC ( MS win NT) , everything works OK (with samba , winbindd ) . An user from PC1 can acced to internet using Linux as a proxy and authenticating itsel against PDC. But the user in PC1 wants to use MSN and netmeeting :-) I tryed to configure netmeeting to use HTTP proxy pointing to Linux Box and in the linux box put /sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 1863 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128 when the user tun MSN , it ask userid and password (this does not happen when it uses a browser because it is authenticated directly against the PDC) , when the user introduce de userid and password , the squid give tcp denied , and the user can not connect. Surely I am doing some mistake , can anybody help me ? thanks dl Argentina -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
