thanks that page solved my problem and works fine. however now its installed its totally useless. right click messnger discovery tray icon and the options button is all greyed out how do i fix this?

Most of the options are only useful once you've signed in.

yea im still messing around with it trying to find out all the options. is there like a page 2 help with all the stuff?

the documentation of messenger discovery:

Try going thru a proxy or something that doesn't rely on your ISP's DNS. If you have issues with geting onto the MessengerDiscovery website then contact your ISP because it must be an issue with them.

same it comes up with cannot be displayed

i have just got off the phone to my isp's broadband support line. according to their technicians http://www.messengerdiscovery.com and http://tabserve.msnfanatic.com DO NOT EXIST it is that simple. however they did say that if you guys who claim to have access to these sites can give me the ip address associated with these sites then they can investigate this problem much further.

www.messengerdiscovery.com - 64.246.50.17
tabserve.msnfanatic.com - 67.19.206.244

However, I don't believe it is possible to access the sites on the IPs alone.

use the hosts file =)

code:

---

64.246.50.17 www.messengerdiscovery.com
67.19.206.244 tabserve.msnfanatic.com

I don't think it will work, the sites aren't configed to use the IP's.

Multiple sites/domains can be on one IP address. They probably didn't configure a default.

personally i dont get where your going with this. im trying to find a solution to my problem. my problem is i cannot access www.messengerdiscovery.com and http://tabserve.msnfanatic.com i just want to be able to access these sites. i am willing to do whatevers neccessarry to access them as long as i get to them in the end. so what exactly do i have to do to make this happen?

try using a proxy

i dont know any proxy servers where i do find them. besides ntl broadband support said they tryed using a proxy and still had no luck.

tell NTL to update their DNS servers.

and, a simple google search will solve your "i got no proxy" issue. http://www.google.com/search?q=proxy%20list&svnum...fe=off&sa=N&tab=iw

to ungrey the options just sign in and back out again and if that dnt werk exit msn and then open agen

umm heres a though on reading the news page @ www.messengerdiscovery.com it says that messenger 7 compatability will be added in version 3 which is being released in 2005 and current version is 2.6.1 so maybe those greyed out options are greyed out cause md is not yet compatable with messenger 7.0. by the way si_singh your suggestions didnt work.

what proxy u using stuart? i got msn 6.1 and that sorted mine, so prob depend on the msn.

im using the following proxy:

host19-225.pool8018.interbusiness.it port 8080

Config:
msn messenger 7.0.0332
messenger plus 3.40.107
messengerdiscovery 2.6.1
windows xp pro sp2

ok cheers man.
