It's blocked on the WaveLAN network. You can get around this by;

a) Find out where the nearest eduroam (http://eduroam.ucd.ie) hotspot is and get on that, although I don't think they have one near the library yet.
b) Learn how to port-tunnel - if you've never heard of this you probably don't have the time or the inclination to bother with it.
c) Use something like meebo (www.meebo.com), which works through your browser.

edit: and to clarify I assumed by MSN you meant Windows/Windows Live Messenger.

Can't you configure Messenger to use the HTTP protocol and the proxy?

You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

It's not blocked on the WaveLan. Just make sure your os can connect to the internet (auto detect settigns in IE on windows, pac file on mac) and use the latest Live Messenger. Takes about 1-2 minutes to sign in but it does work..
