223574 2004-03-19 00:37:00 Hi stu14013

The site has been having problems as of yesterday, I picked this up from a site that mentions what problems they were having .


update: Microsoft confirmed on Thursday that many MSN customers have been prevented from logging onto services such as Hotmail and MSN Messenger .

The outage comes barely a week after the software giant experienced similar sign-in problems with the e-mail service and the instant-messaging service . Both use Microsoft Passport, a universal password and authentication software that is incorporated into MSN's family of Web sites .

223575 2004-03-19 00:42:00 I first tried windows messenger, then yahoo before I posted . Both were OK .

Then tried msn messenger - it signed in ok, then said there was an update, which installed fine, and I am back on again .

Maybe you need the update?

Weird about Yahoo though . . . are you connecting through a proxy server, and need to reset your socks settings?

That update is for MSN messenger 6 . 0 - 6 . 1, which I am not using, I am using 5 . 0, which MSN still supports . . . .

I think it is an ISP issues(any one else who is with Quicksilver/Maxnet having the same problem???)

Nope, just a strait connection to the Internet over a network with ICS (& dad is having the same problem as well)
