Windows Mssenger wont authenticate with server or .Net

Helllo!

I'm having a Windows Messenger problem. When Wingate is started Windows messenger wont authenticate with the server or .Net passport. If I turn Wingate off Windows Messenger works fine. Wingate is not installed on the server running Exchange which is also the windows messenger server. The only policy I have is full access on all users.

Windows messenger is used to setup internal messaging in an intranet environment .net passport allows you to link your email so people outside the network can see you online. Windows messenger uses the same username and password that users use to login to the network.

I hope I’ve explain my situation well enough for you to understand my problem. I apologize if this a problem already addressed in the forums. I looked through several pages and this is the closes topic I found to my problem.

Is this Instant Messenging on Exchange 2000?
