Just for clarification,
I'm Running Windows XP Home, plenty of RAM and speed and my ISP is AOL Gold 512k Broadband (yes I know, AOL, laugh it up).
A while back MSN wasn't working and said it was my internet not being connected (even though it was) but I thought nah it'll work next time.
The next day i get 48 viri and format my hard disk.
Yesterday it was working fine (coincidentally after I format my computer). Anyway, its 12:00 at night so I switch my router off and go to sleep, now today when I try to go on Messenger again im told that the problem is my internet connection and that I should connect. again I am connected to the internet.
I think the problem is that when i turn my router off messenger ceases to work at all.
So i uninstalled it and installed it again, still wouldnt work.
Anybody got any ideas since MSN help wont laod for me and MSN doesnt load properly?

The MSN network has been crashing since yesterday and is currently down.
Size doesn't matter.

Since yesterday? im still getting the same message I had a few days ago which says im not connected to the internet.
But that would explain why I cant access help or the main page. Thanks for that info
I do have a suspicious feeling that its in the router settings.

I'm getting the same problems. I think they're updating their network in preparation for Messenger 7.0.
|
I doubt it. If they were upgrading, they would have shutdown the servers. Instead of the way it was working now. You could sometimes still connect. But only after a minute you could see who were online. And you couldn't actually start a conversation. The only way to communicate was by chaning your names. Wich also didn't really work fast.
It more looked like a Software crash to me.
Also the Beta of MSN 7.0 has been leaked. And it ran good on the old network. Yes, I downlaoded the leaked beta.

MSN fighting Messenger difficulties, virus
Posted by Ron Ghuman on 11 Oct 2004 - 20:05
People using Microsoft instant messaging software, MSN Messenger, may have been a mite lonely this weekend, with only a virus to keep them company.
The software giant acknowledged on Monday that it continued to battle a technical glitch that prevented MSN users from logging into the service's instant messaging system for the past three days. The problems, which several users complained about on discussion forums frequented by network administrators, caused several hours of outages on Monday morning.
The problems also coincided with emergence of a new computer virus, known as Funner, that spreads using the MSN instant messaging service and tries to direct people to a Web site, http://www.78p.com. However, security software firm Symantec found no evidence that the virus, which had only spread to a small number of PCs, had caused any disruptions.
