Posting one user's problem:
"Im using MSN Messenger 7.0.0813 and always after signing in Messenger gives error:
your connection with the messenger service has been lost. reconnecting in 0:10
And then it starts counting and signs out and then signs in again and then it gives this error again."

So, could firewall be one of the reasons?

Indeed, try to sign in without it, I wouldn't recomened disableing it as a permanant fix though. If it works you know it's a problem with the firewall.

Also you could try uninstalling MSN Messenger (Start > Control Panel > Add\Remove Programs > MSN Messenger > Change\Remove) then reboot your computer and download and install it again.

Is your version of MSN Messenger patched in anyway?

i know this died down a bit already but i have the same problem.

I know that if your talking to someone all of a sudden it says it couldnt deliver the message then signs out.

This problem started after my dad updated our router (Which a router sort of acts as a firewall if you think about it)

By the way i cant change our settings on the router so thats out of the question

I think I found a fix for this...I used to have that problem and then I changed my email and passport to my gmail account and I no longer have that problem...and there is also msnserversx that can help....search and Im sure youll find it....

Gmail didnt work for me after i tried it.

I think it does half to do with your firewall. Get the user to try webmessenger

http://webmessenger.msn.com
It works for me.

Notes about msn messenger signing you out:
1.It happens alot when you first start the conversation (Are the first to send the message)
2. One factor seems to be if the other person closed their window
3.Msn somtimes hates you and signs you out right when the most important person ever is about to ask you an important question

Im sick of webmessenger now, im sorry for double posting but i want this bumped...

Im sick of msn signing me out for no reason, i've sent at least 5 emails to hotmail they havent helped at all, and i just want it fixed, can anyone help me

Mine did that until I figured out it wasn't MSN at all.. It was our cable modem which was 5 years old at the time. So we got it replaced, now I only get "your connection has been lost" when the cable goes down during thunderstorms. So you might wanna check your modem or router.

lol, one of my friends has the same problem and she has a cable modem, i'll tell her that.

But i have DSL, and a router though which for me was never a problem with msn until a few months ago

i have a similar problem n its SO BLOODY ANNOYING
i keep getting the "connection has been lost" msg n it tries to sign back in but the connection doesn't hold!!!
its only on one computer and for one account!!!
i diasbled norton n it still doesn't work...
i have a cable that conected directly to the comp and its pretti new. wat should i do??? HELP!!!!!!!!

hmm also try disabling your firewall. i know it wont work, cus it never worked for me but try anyways
