Connecting and Signing in to Messenger

We have installed a new modem (Linksys Wireless-G ADSL Home Gateway) and
althought we have followed all the help instructions we could find, are
unable to sign in to messenger. Under connection options it indicates that we
are directly connected to .NET messenger services. All the tests are
successful and we have checked our firewalls to make sure that messenger is
not blocked, but we are still unable to sign in to WLM. We are able to sign
in to MSN Messenger and Skype. Our computer runs on Windows Vista operating
system. Please can someone help.

The error message reads as follows;
We were unable to sign you in to Windows Live Messenger, possibly because of
a problem with the service or with your Internet connection. Please make sure
that you are connected to the Internet.
Windows Live Messenger has made several failed attempts to sign you in. Your
firewall may be blocking Windows Live Messenger from connecting to the
service. Please review your firewall settings. See the retailer’s
instructions for more information. Error code: 81000306
I have checked the firewall settings and Windows Live Messenger is not
blocked.

Don't ask me why or how as I have not changed anything that I am aware of
except for cancelling the "Remember me" option and now I can sign in. Problem
solved, thank you.
