Hey - Please can you help !! I have just installed windows live messenger on
to a newly formatted pc - I have only installed AVG free antivirus. My
windows firewall is turned off and I goto log into WLM and the above error
numbers come up stating the my firewall is blocking the program - even though
the firewall is turned off.

The factors - I am connecting to the internet thru a router which is
connected to a broadband connection. PLEASE HELP !

Don't worry about your firewall for a moment, go double check your Windows
Date/Time really carefully. This is the cause of the problem most of the
time. I hunted down this same problem just before and found that my date had
changed to July somehow. Solves it quickly.
Hope that helps.

Hi. I have had the same problem ever since I bought my Sony Vaio. I have
tried everything: changing the time, synchronizing it, unsynchronizing it,
firewall, no firewall, dep settings... but nothing seems to work. I alse have
a Toshiba satelite. Both with Vista. MSN works perfectly well in the Toshiba.
Go figure.

I had the same problem and had tried all of the above and more until I went
into my router's settings and forwarded ports 80, 443 and 1863. For help on
how to do this for your router go to www.portforward.com Hope this helps.

Hi,

Messenger only requires outgoing connections on these ports. Unless your router is also
blocking outgoing connections, forwarding ports will not change anything as they would
typically be incoming connections.
