What configurations need to be made for Outlook Messenger to run?
Firewall: First and most important, you need to configure the Firewall, so that Outlook Messenger can communicate with others in Network. Microsoft Windows Firewall Users should add OutlookMessenger.exe in the exception list. For other firewalls, you may need to open TCP/UDP port 14110 to 14116. More details . Assigning an IP Address: Outlook Messenger uses a LAN IP Address for communication. In Settings > Network Tab, select the Network Adapter to be used by Outlook Messenger. All LAN systems should have a static IP Address assigned(recommended) OR all should “Obtain an IP Address automatically”. Avoid using both options in the same network. Use Link Server, if you are going to use Outlook Messenger in VPN / Multiple Sub networks.
