Sign In problem with MSN Messenger 7.5 (Build 7.5.0311)
I cannot sign in on MSN messenger 7.5 after doing an upgrade of
aforementioned application. I signed on early in the morning to MSN Messenger 7.5 and got a pop-up indicating that there was newer version. I proceeded in updating my version and since than I am not able to sign in. I am told I either have no internet connection (wrong! I am connected!) or it is my firewall blocking it (error code 81000306). I use Norton Internet Security and the firewall setting for MSN messenger says Permit All! By troubleshooting my MSN Messenger by going to the menu option: ToolsOptions Connection, I get the message: "You are currently NOT connected to .NET Messenger Service" I checked the Service Status on the sign on screen and get the message " All systems are stable and running". I also started the MSN Messenger Troublesooter and get the message: "Default gateway appears to be offline". I hope someone can help me sort this out! Thanks. PS I have also noticed that I cannot sign in on MSN explorer. Internet explorer works fine, but the sign in screen on msn explorer just stays permanently on the flying butterfly, and after a while I get the message that I cannot sign in and have to check my internet connection etc... |

Sign In problem with MSN Messenger 7.5 (Build 7.5.0311)
Greetings,
Norton may just not be recognizing the new version. Remove it from the Program Control List and then readd it by using the Add dialog. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2005 Jonathan Kay.

Thanks for you prompt rresponse, however I am not sure of understanding your
explanation: You want me to go in Control Panel Add/Remove Programs; than remove the msn application and than reinstall it? If not could you please explain me what you meant?

Hi,
No, within the Norton Internet Security Firewall, you will find a Program Control List which lists the Programs that the firewall is allowing or blocking. More specifically this can usually be found by double-clicking the Norton icon in the notification area and clicking the Configure button, and then Programs. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2005 Jonathan Kay.

Sign In problem with MSN Messenger 7.5 (Build 7.5.0311)
I've been having for three weeks the same problem, I use the Windows
firewall. When this started I noticed that some days I can use some file sharing programs, but IE and Messenger and other programs I use for trading FX using port 80 will not work, and MSN Messenger give me the same errors Alton have and when IE works the other programs will not, however, Skype and Yahoo Messenger have no problem.

Hi,
The Windows Firewall can't block Messenger as it only blocks incoming connections whereas Messenger (to at least connect and chat) requires only outgoing connections. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2005 Jonathan Kay.
