I recently upgraded NIS 2004 to NIS 2005.
Ever since then, when I try to open Messenger 7, it continues to try, but never connects. It will most times connect however, if I open Tools/Options/Connection, then use both Test Connection, followed by Advanced Settings/Test TCP Connection.
In both those cases, it always says my connection is working.
I am completely convinced this is a firewall issue within NIS, but I have done everything I can think of to enable the firewall for MSN and it still won’t work till I go through the process above.
I tried the same thing on a second computer I have networked in my home and it exhibits identical symptoms.
Has anyone seen a similar problem and does anyone know what to do to fix it? I have searched all over the Norton and Microsoft support web sites and can find no references to this problem.
ok this will probably seem obvious and you may have tried it. but last night I couldn’t log in and I just checked the TCP box and it loaded fine. I think my problem was MSN server issues though, but try it you never know.
Thanks, but yes I tried that already. I also unchecked the others, since I do not use them in my home setup (Socks V4, Socks V5 and HTTP Proxy).
I will be curious to see if it ALWAYS logs in for you. As I said, it seems very intermittant, with it logging in many fewer times than not.
