| O.P.  MSN killing internet connection? I'm new.. and I've tried to search this here.. but I couldn't find it..
 So today my dsl suddenly stopped working (I hate my ISP- bellsouth), but anyways, so I did what I usually do, disconnect, turn off the power for it, wait few minutes, restart it basically.  But when I tried that today, it was working fine, then suddenly my DSL goes out again, and I had tried to do it again, now, this was all working fine until when I tried to resign back into my MSN.
 
 My MSN just wouldn't sign in, my AIM, IE, etc were all working, but just when I tried to sign into MSN all of them basically just lost their connection and everything.  My friend told me to install 7.5, which I also did, which is having a similar effect.  Everytime I try to sign into MSN I lose all my internet connection, and just when I close MSN all the connection returns.. now.. I'm not exactly great with computers, but I don't consider myself completely illiterate either.. so firewall= off, anything that might inhibit MSN from working properly also is turned off.
 
 Even though I have custom names and everything, once I turn that off, I can also sign in, it's just that WHEN I sign in, I don't have any internet connection either, if I do it's for maybe a second, and I'm without it again.. I was wondering if anyone else had any advice on this?
 
 Thanks.
 
 EDIT: Okay, I have NO CLUE how this wound up in this thread.. this was supposed to be in the other thread for messenger..
