Comment (by swingtan):

 Hi All,
 I may have a work around for this problem.  I was getting the same types
 of errors when using Pidgin ( both 2.0 and 2.1 ) from behind a proxy
 server.  Windows Live Messenger 8.1 worked fine, but Pidgin reported both
 reading and writing errors depending on how often I tried.  While looking
 into a problem I was having with Opera Internet Browser and NTLM
 authentication, I came across this information...

 [http://my.opera.com/Tamil/blog/proxy-server-authentication-problem-with-
 opera]

 Which is an NTLM authorising proxy.  After installing this, and setting my
 MSN proxy settings as described in the link above, MSN is working fine
 behind the proxy server.  While not being a complete fix, it does offer a
 work around for those in the same situation as me.

 Simon.
