Open up IE and click on File. Make sure there isn't a tick next to Work Offline.

You may also want to make Mozilla FireFox your default browser by Tools, Options, Tick FireFox should check if it the default browser...

perhaps i wasn't completly clear.
I get a 81000362. wich means that internet explorer is working offline. the problem is I deleted Iexplorer and I am using firefox now. so I was asking if there is a way to make msn messenger use firefox instead of
Iexplorer.

First, reinstall IE, coz he needs that 2 connect.
Second, check if Firefox is your standard browser. Why, read third step.
Third, install StuffPlug-NG 2 and check the option "Open all links in default browser".
I think it will work that way...

Internet Explorer is too deeply embedded into Windows to successfully remove. You will surely run into more problems than you already have. If you don’t use it, then just leave it there.

Deleting IE is a bad idea in the first place as some sites only let you view stuff with the Internet Explorer browser. Deleting it was a bad move.

Removing Internet Explorer is a bad idea, i recommend you reinstall it and see it it solves your problem

I reckon it is a load of BS that MSN needs IE to run properly. i have to do the same thing and i get real tired of it. MSN can connect fine without IE they just made it so it cant

guys, since the new version of msn live is out, the StuffPlug is not working, since it's made for v6 and 7. so how do i open all the links and the mail in firefox instead of IE?

No sorry, but you have to wait till Stufs Plug is released for WLM. Goo to http://www.stufsplug.com and check
