I’ve got a Windows Messenger account (not MSN or hotmail) and, since WM works on the .NET system, shouldn’t I be able to access it from Gaim?
You should be able to, since it’s all the same network, just different messengers.
Exactly. But I can’t. Keeps trying to log me into MSN, adding @hotmail to my screen name.
Do you type in “[email protected]” or do you just type in “Yourname” I think it only adds @hotmail.com if you don’t include a “@coolplace.com”
I just type in my screen name… then it adds the @hotmail
I don’t have an “@” to add to my screen name for windows messenger
At least not that I know of!
Well…all names registered on the MSN Network (includes Windows Messenger) has some kind of @whatever.com they just all do. It looks a lot like an email address…because it basicly is. So, I guess try to figure out where it was registered, and what it was registered by. If that makes any sense.
Aha – instead of using my WM screen name, I just use my regular (earthlink,not hotmail – don’t have a hotmail acct) email address plus Miscrosoft Passport Network password.
Thanks
