Hi, hope you can help me here as it seems microsoft couldn’t!
The problem I am having is that for some reason i have to push cancel and sign in about 20 times and occasionally msn will let me sign in but it takes me about 15 mins!
It only happens on 1 passport the others are fine. and if i sign in using “windows messenger” it lets me in fine.MSN Messenger 7.0 (latest version)
Wireless network
DG834G router
Windows XP Pro
The firewall is disabled on the router and i am using the windows xp pro firewall.
I have msn in my allow settings for the firewall.Hope you can help!

Just to determine whether it is a computer problem or an account problem.
Do you have the same problem on other machines?
I am experiencing the same exact problem, although this happened for me when I upgraded from NIS 2004 to NIS 2005. See my post, several below yours:

If someone responds to you through email with a fix that works, rather than posting a reply, would you please post it or email it to me so I can do the same thing? Thanks.
The same exact thing is happening to me, although this started happening only after I upgraded from NIS 2004 to NIS 2005 (see my post several below yours):

i also have that problem with msn
the following conditions may apply:a- The settings on your corporate network or Internet service provider (ISP) have timed out.
b- Your router has outdated router firmware.
c- The Microsoft .NET Messenger Service is experiencing service or maintenance issues.
Try the following solutions in the order that they are listed:
1. To determine the .NET Messenger Service status, visit
http://messenger.msn.com/Status.aspx.2. If you are using a third-party firewall, temporarily disable the firewall or reset the firewall
configuration for MSN Messenger to Permit All or to Allow type.3. If you are using a router, make sure that you have the latest firmware from your router
manufacturer. You may also want to add your computer’s local Internet protocol (IP) address
to the router’s perimeter network setting. For more information, review your router
documentation.Note The “perimeter network” is also known as “DMZ,” “demilitarized zone,” or “screened subnet.”
4. If you are on a corporate network, and you are being disconnected from MSN Messenger, your connection settings may time out. Ask your system administrator to adjust the corporate Internet sharing solution or the corporate firewall.
