Yep – I’m in that boat with you both!
I’m in Altrincham …. same thing, hotmail connects no probs (via a proxy), messenger still won’t sign on. Little men spinning around.
If anyone has the answers, let me know ASAP cheers.

Hmm – ok.
Not too sure on that one then. I’ve been reading a few posts on other forums (http://www.nthellworld.com and http://www.adslguide.org.uk) which are saying the problem may be down to NTL closing a port to stop the recent viruses, and that they are working on fixing it.
Have a look on some of those sites and see if there’s any info that’s useful to you.
I’m in Manchester area – current state is I can log into hotmail and msn.com (using above proxy settings) – but still can’t sign in to messenger.
I have also found this site – which will allow you to log on to msn through a web based client – useful for notifying all of your mates that your msn is down!!!
Good luck!!

Dunno if you’ve been reading other posts – but try this.
On IE, click tools, internet options, then connections tab.
Next click LAN settings, then advanced.
In the box for http: proxy server, type 62.254.96.4 and ensure that the port is 8080.
Click ok.
Make sure that the box for use a proxy server is ticked.
Restart IE.
This will get you into microsoft and hotmail sites, although it doesn’t solve the msn messenger problems.
If i get a solution to that one, I shall let you know.
cheers.
