RE: XP messenger not receiving messages

Regarding to this case i asked Cisco if they had any problems in they
product, got this answer:

"Micosoft Instant messenger does not work through the tunnel, when customer
establishes tunnel from 5000 clients (he tried both 4.2.18 and 5.0) clients
on
almost all platforms of Microsoft operating system and it does not work.

In IM you can see other person under available list but if a person who is
sitting behind the concentrator i.e. in the private network tries to send
some message to the person tunneling in the message does not go through but
it works the other way, i.e. person tunnelling in can send messages
in the inside of private network."

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem with Windows messenger.

Anyone knows if Microsoft has a resolution for this?
