Communicator 2005 contact list may incorrectly list a contact as "Status unknown"
When you use Microsoft Office Communicator 2005 over a virtual private network (VPN) connection, your contact list may incorrectly list a contact as "Status unknown."
This problem occurs when the VPN connects to host server at a slow connection speed. When this occurs, Communicator 2005 cannot use Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) compression over the VPN connection.
This issue is fixed in the Communicator 2005 hotfix package that was released on October 19, 2006.

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
