172378 2003-09-01 15:03:00 i am running win 98 and are trying to use msn any verison of it above 4.6 ie 5.0 or 6.0 for instances. I am not on a LAN or do i use a firewall but when i try to run msn 6.0 it comes up with we are trying to connect you but can't because you appear to be using a firewall or on a LAN.

it also trys to connect through the proxy but i don't use it.
and when i try to change my proxy settings to put it on then take it off it still doesn't work.

so does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this

thanks

Weird, I know! But it seems to fix the problem whenever it happens.
