Thats the official link

Unfortunate ZoneAlarm also wasn’t my real problem! Today when I tried to connect with MSN & Messenger Plus I got the same problem as andydrizen! I can’t connect anymore with the combination of MSN 7.0.0777 & Messenger Plus 3.52.130! But after uninstalling Messenger Plus I can’t connect with msn 7.0.0777 at all!!

So I’m also stuck to msn 6.2 & Messenger Plus just like andydrizen hope that somebody finds a solution for this issue as soon as possible!

Please reinstall MSN Messenger 7 and check this for me.

Open MSN Messenger > Tools > Options > Connections > Advanced Settings

The Servers/User IDs should be blank. TCP should have a checkmark beside it.

When you click on Test Connection what does it say?

Well, in the Connection tab, the "Test Connection" button yields the following:

System Settings
We found some system settings that might be preventing a connection to Messenger.

  View System Settings:

Setting Proposed -  Change Domain Authority to Clear and change
Domain Authority Configuration Version to Clear.

Messenger suggested a repair job - i clicked on it and got i "successfully repaired" message, i then ran MSN and got the same problem.

When i re ran the test i got the same outcome.


When i Test TCP connection, i get the same message you do in the previously attached image.


now to uninstall it again *sigh*

Nice! Just found that out myself! All proxies/socks were selected so I deselected them! (I never turned them on myself)
I also cleared all my SSL-certifcates! So I don't know for sure what the solution to my problem was! But everything works fine right now! I think it was the proxies & Socks option!!


Lodie

Oh yeh! Mine is fixed too!!


uncheck all but TCP in advanced connection...... genius.

Does this make us testers, Lodie

Blah it was supposed to say that TCP should only be checked. Glad it worked out for you guys. Enjoy MSN Messenger 7 and the powerful features of Messenger Plus!

It's kind of weird but when the TCP option is flagged MSN takes allot more time to connect (or doesn't at all). When I test the TCP Connection it says that it should work fine (it doesn't). When the TCP option is unflagged it connect fine!

So I'm not sure if it's really the TCP option that causes MSN not to connect or that it's a server-side problem......
