The one it doesn't work on is the newest computer in the office. Maybe 2 months old if that. I have a feeling this is a simple security issue, but can't seem to find it. I can send messages to anyone in the office, just can't receive them. Thank you in advance for any help on this matter. Regards, Cricket

Please tell me what OS you are using, as well as fire wall, and security programs. It may be a simple setting in your fire wall to allow IM.
