Right, I’ve been unable to sign in to MSN Messenger 6.0 for months now.
I’m using Windows XP Pro, connect to the internet through a local HTTP proxy server and I get this error message (almost immediately) when I try to log in;
“Sorry, we were unable to sign you in to the .NET Messenger Service at this time. Please try again later.”
I’m going to try installing 6.1 and windows messenger 4.7 and hopefully one of those will work.
Hi Kids!
I have yet another possible solution for you all. This is going to sound REALLY strange, but open up Internet Explorer… (yes really!)
Click Tools
Click Internet Options
Click the Advanced tab
Scroll all the way down to the security options and make sure both of these boxes are ticked:
Use SSL 2.0
Use SSL 3.0
Click OKHave another go at logging in and see what happens. It might actually help you out!
Hope I helped!
PS – Make sure you’re using the latest virus software and that you have a firewall in place to stop those nasty worms that can cause these problems
Don’t forget to look before you cross the road!
ahhh I need help I clicked on run in the start menu and typed in “regedit ” and it sed that there was a memory violation in module kernel32 at 2784:93113777 wot do I do everytime I do it the number at the end changes 2 ????
help me pleaseI had the same exact problem,it wouldnt let me sign in until I updated to 6.1.
Now I cant do audio conversations with the new program. I hate 6.1..I wish I could go back to 6.0 but it wont let you..:mad:hey..i tried all the advices written here but nuffin works, the “solution” with the regedit and so on doesnt work and I can’t install 6.0 or any other older version,because it tells me I have to get the latest version, but since I got it the first time my MSN doesn’t work.. that’s about 1 month ago now..it is always this 0x81000301 error, btw my trillian, icq, amsn and dmsn dont work either:mad:..i’ve already reinstalled everything about 10 times and it still doesnt work, thats kinda frustrating..:eek: I don’t have any proxy or something like that, does some1 have another advice what to do:confused::confused::confused: thanx a lot
I have been suffering with the same problem as you all and it’s been mind numbing trying to find someone to help me. AOL and MSN are both completely useless!
Finally though I fixed the problem and I hope it helps you lot out there as well.
I found a web site which told me to check my MTU setting on my ADSL modem. Apparantly AOL only works upto a MTU of 1400. Most modems will preset themselves to 1492. I changed mine to 1400 and at first it didn’t work. So I changed the other two fields as well which were MRU and MSS.
MTU = Maximum Receiving Unit
MRU = Maximum Transmitting Unit
MSS = Maximum Segment SizeI set MTU to 1400, MRU to 1400 and MSS to 1340. I only set the MSS value lower because it was 60 less than the other 2 originally but I have no idea whether or not this is correct until I do more investigations.
After doing the above I found that MSN worked immediately! and IE now works at lightning speeds! Thanks for nothing AOL! It’s taken me hours and hours to fix this problem myself!

Check your cipher strength in Internet Explorer. Security Tools are shared with MSN Messenger. Go to Help|About Internet Explorer|Cipher Strength:. If it’s not 128 Bit. That would explain the problems you are having.

My problem started on the 18th of June 2004…
The problem is, MSN messenger refuses sign me in. This hasn’t happened before :/
I use Windows Messenger, even though I have MSN 6.2. [6.2 never worked properly; it never sent all the messages I typed and I never received all the messages sent to me.]
Error message: [On Window Messanger]:”Signing into .NET Messenger Service failed because the password is incorrect or the sign-in name does not exist. If you have forgotten your password, click Help in the main window, and then click Help Topics”
[On MSN Messenger 6.2]:”Sorry, we could not sign you in because the sign-in name you entered does not exist or your password is incorrect. If you have forgotten your password, please click Help in the main Messenger window, and then click Help Topics for instructions on resetting yout password. 0x81000303″
I went to MSN for support, I got nowhere… I tried e-mailing their support, but whenever I’d click ‘Submit’ I’d get ‘This page cannot be displayed’. I’ve also tried to sign in through http://www.hotmail.com, but I also got ‘This page cannot be displayed’, even when I refreashed it three zillion times.
Windows Messenger and MSN 6.2 USED to sign me in.. suddenly it died.
My password is DEFINATELY correct, as is my user name. No one could have hacked it, as I’ve tried with 5 different accounts, each with different passwords, and none of them work. No one could have got into ALL of them.
Resetting my password doesn’t work, because the site doesn’t load.
Also, the date on my computer is correct =x
I got Ad-aware, scanned my computer and deleted all the junk, I scanned it with Norton recently, no virus’.
Comp & Internet specs:
451 mhz Intel Pentium III processor
192 MB of sdRAM
13 Gig Harddrive
Windows XP Professional
Internet Explorer 6
115.2 kbps internet connection (ISDN)
I tried signing into MSN through Trillian, but it fails to connect EVERYTIME.
What the heck is going on >.<
