    I am not able to sign in with MSN Messenger at the moment? It blames my Internet Connection for not being able to sign-in. Its very annoying. I was just wondering is it just me or are others having this problem.

    make sure your Internet browser isn't set to work offline that sometimes happens to me.

    if it's not that it might be some firewall problem

    Do you have Norton Personal Firewall running ??

    That's odd, someone I know had the same error message earlier, it might be a glitch in the matrix...watch your back.

    Erm, it might be anti-microsoft ware on your machine or I could be talking tosh, run spybot and anti-virus software. Tell use if u find what was wrong, when u get it working again.

    msn has now blocked all 3rd party clients (trillian, gaim).
    either get em patched up or download the messenger client
