[Serusers] SER and Windows messenger 5

[john hess]

a couple things to check -

in the ser config:
- iirc the domain needs to match the hostname (fqdn) of the ser box, and 
that it matches what is used in the registration authorization challenge;

on the client box:
- is it running a personal fw that may be (silently) blocking the either 
one or both of the registration attempt or the challenge from ser?  i 
ran into this with symantec client fw on xp. as at test, i disabled the 
fw on the client -- instead of the "...service is temporarily 
unavailable."  messenger prompted me for the passwd associated with the 
username;
