Do you have a router? If so, which one (brand and model number)? Try resetting it by unplugging it for one minute, then plugging back in and restart PC, as suggested
here and
here. Or disable then enable the network adapter.
quote:
I fixed it by resetting my router to default settings. Before I did that, I did a little test. I made sure no msnmsgr.exe was running went and disabled my network adapter (NIC), rebooted, and opened WLM and low and behold it opened. After that is when I re enabled my NIC then all of a sudden WLM stopped responding that when I went into my router and reset it to factory defaults, rebooted my pc and WLM opened fine and signed in fine.
