With latest version of WebOne and update of Escargot, now all versions of MSN Messenger (1.0 - 2009) are working on all OSes. Previously there were problems with version 4.7 and up on Windows 9x/2000 and pre-SP3 XP. Now, all are working. So it's now possible to run MSN Messenger 5.0-7.0 under Windows 98 and successfully connect it to Escargot network. As well as "classic" Messenger 4.6.

I think you have problems at 86Box configuration. It have very strange networking stack, and it's not easy to connect from an 86Box to host PC. Consider use something like VirtualBox or Microsoft Virtual PC 2007, they are better at network level (IMHO).

First, try any of ways to get 86box connected to host PC: https://86box.readthedocs.io/en/latest/hardware/network.html

Then try to ping the host OS from 86box. If it's success, probably WebOne will be accessible by that IP address, and port 8080. Set them in browser settings (does not matter, MSIE, Opera, or other).

An other way is to set 86Box to SLIRP mode, verify that WWW is correctly pinging, then launch WebOne on a some public location (such as a rented VPS server) and use it. This is only way that doesn't rely on 86box local networking problems.
