290058 2004-11-10 07:43:00 Hi Codex

You will need to register your gmail account with the .NET passport system. Go to http://passport.net and sign up to it there. Then it should log in.

Note that you will have to receive an email from .NET and follow some instructions to "activate" it. It is a free service. 		somebody (208)
290059 2004-11-10 07:46:00 easy, go to passport.com, sign in with your gmail email there and use a password and there should be a button called verify you account

or

i think this is how i did it, sign in to msn using you gmail address and use the password *cough* volume *cough* (i dont know why it is like this but this is how i done it) and when you sign in you will see on the top that you need to verify your account click on it and your browser should open and follow the on screen instructions, make sure you change you password!

How does this password "volume" thing work? Would I be right in doing it by putting my gmail address in the email address section, and using "volume" as the password? (it didn't work for me). 		somebody (208)
