I have had this for like a week now and im connected to the Internet. What
is the problem?

Windows XP Home, MSN 6.2, Internet explorer.

Help Please.

 

Same here but very random, RoadRunner Cable, Central FL. XP Pro. MSN Int.
6.2

 

Greetings Tobias,

Here are some suggestions you should check/try if you haven't already:

1. The date on your computer needs to be set properly -- double click the clock verify that
the time and date are set.
2. If your password information is not saved, verify that you are typing it in with the
correct case (uppercase or lowercase).
3. Change your password @ http://memberservicesnet.passport.com/memberservice.srf to
something smaller (under 10-12 characters), then try signing in again.
4. If you use a firewall (like ZoneAlarm, Norton Internet Security etc. ), it's possible
that Messenger doesn't have the correct rights to access the Internet, especially since you
upgraded. You may need to re/add Messenger to the allowed list of programs in your firewall
if this is the case.
5. If you disabled your firewall in the past, it still may be blocking Messenger -- try
restarting it and see if that helps the situation. You also might try uninstalling an
installed firewall, to verify that it isn't causing a problem (even if it is disabled).
6. Clear your IE cache and cookies -- open Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, then
Internet Options, then click the Delete Files button, and when that's complete click the
Delete Cookies button.
7. Check your IE Security settings -- open Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, then
Internet Options, then Advanced tab, scroll to the Security section, and verify that "Check
for server certificate revocation" is unchecked. Also verify that 'Use SSL 2.0' and Use SSL
3.0' is checked, then click OK.
8. Click Start, then Run, and enter the following:
regsvr32 softpub.dll
then click OK

If none of these solutions work, let us know and we'll see if we can further assist.

donwload msn messenger 6.2 from here:

http://messenger.msn.com


it has alot of connection fixes in it.

 

I've got the same problem, and none of these fixes helped. I have 2 PCs, both running XP. The main PC has broadband acces, but the other PC accesses the Internet via a HOME Network with the main PC. The main PC can access MSN Messenger OK, but the other PC keeps getting this error message.
Can anyone help please? (Upgrading to version 6.2 didn't help, and there has never been a firewall on this "other" PC.)

 

I forgot to mention that this "other" PC cannot access any Microsoft or ebay pages either - in both cases the attempt simply times out.
