Hi,

I think I can't be of any help. As you told everything is on the internal
network, it doesn't seem to be a firewall/NAT issue. Although it seems to be
a problem of you NOT receiving correct signaling (you see everybody as
offline), while signaling on the other direction is ok (they see you as
online). So it's a typical NAT (or FW) problem. Are you sure there's no NAT
or firewall on the way to the central office?

I'd also like to ask you something apart from this: which Windows Messenger
version are you using? Which O.S.?

Thank you
Paulo.
