I also got this problem.

yeh i keep getting it its quiet annoying but it goes away so yeh i hope they can fix it

yea...having the same prob as well..it's surely is getting annoying

Same problem here. Thougt I was the only one but it doesn't look like that. Really annoying.

Just to confirm, this definetly isn't caused by the Plus! Live 4.01 update, as I tried it on another PC on my network (using WLM) and I couldn't sign in.

* Although I just got on now, it took 3.5 minutes.

I'd speculate that it's because of the updates to MSNP14.

There's more:
In systray the WLM icon doesn't always display the correct status:
- I get "connection error" on hover over when on online...
- When on away the systray icon changes after a bit to the online icon with "Windows Live Messenger - Signed In" on hover over. This probably happens when you're set to other statusses aswell.

so what are we supose to do? install msn 7.5 again and stick with it?

I'd say do nothing, just wait it out (atleast a few days). Unless ofcourse the problems get too big to handle (maybe use windows messenger if it won't sign in etc.). Whatever decision you make is upto you.

I began having this problem yesterday after successfully using WLM with no issues whatsoever... now I get the "Due to a connection problem, changes you make might not be applied to other computers you use", as well as the "Connection Error" hover message from the tray icon.

I'm on a wireless laptop connected to a LinkSys router which shares the DSL internet connection with two other PCs. I made no changes whatsoever to my laptop between the time it worked fine and when the problem began. Have any solutions arisen?

It's a problem with MS... which has been stated already in this thread, and many other threads of the same matter... There's nothing any of us/you can do about it except switch to Windows Messenger or MSN 7.5 for the time being.

It should be fixed in the next few days... I'd imagine the WLM team is all over it and trying to fix it... (The WLM team shouldn't have released a final that was so buggy, it's their fault)
