Default I need Help with Windows Firewalls and Msn Messenger. PLEASE

Greetings Vanessa,

To see if the Internet Connection Firewall is enabled, click Start, then click the Control
Panel. If you're in category view click Network and Internet connections then click Network
Connections. Right click the network connection, then click Properties. Click the Advanced
Tab, and verify that the Internet Connection Firewall is unchecked.

However, the Internet Connection Firewall should work with Messenger and won't block
connecting to Messenger, instead here are some other suggestions you might want to try/check:
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.co...erservice.srf, then try
signing in again.
