    Have a problem and I cannot get to the bottom of it. On my Laptop I cannot sign into MSN Messenger or Hotmail webpage. I have checked my Firewall is allowing and all seems ok there. I have a real earlier version of messenger on the laptop and that signs in ok. Also I cannot check my hotmail through outlook express either. I have ran Spybot and Adaware incase it was spyware problem, Also ran Norton antivirus scan but nothing seems to solve it. I have tried re installing Messenger 7.5 but no avail. I have never had a problem like this wind me up so much!

    Do you have Norton Internet Security?

    If so, it may be blocking the traffic. Try disabling it completely (make sure every component is disabled).

    snaps you dont say what your connecting with, whether a dial up modem BB modem or router

    But the fix for hotmail and messenger on a router anyways is that you need to set the MTU size in your router to 1400, usually set to 1500 or 1495, for some reason messenger and hotmail will not transmit at a speed higher then 1400

    If its not a router then NVM

    Download microsoft anti spyware, it will show up any misconfigurations on the internet side and any software that could be messing it up, it detects stuff adaware and spybot miss out on
