550655 2007-05-17 09:04:00 i have the most up to date version of windows live messenger and all of a sudden a couple of days ago i couldn't login. it is saying "your firewall may be blocking windows live messenger from connecting to the service. Please review your firewall settings" and the error code is 80048820 the extended is 8004801.
i have tried port forwarding but honestly it just confuses me. i have the xtra standard Dlink DSL-504G. i have also uninstalled, reinstalled and used an older version and i have no idea what is going on.

What OS do you have? Win XP / Vista???

Do you know if your routers firewall on?

Do you have any other firewalls on your computer?

Have you done any changes to your computer in the last few days?

*Edit - oops sorry, just noticed you said a couple days ago*
