Can someone please help?! I have just donwloaded Messenger Plus! 3 because some friends recommended it especially the new sounds that can be downloaded. However when I tried to download some of my own I got this error message : "An error occured while contacting the server, please try later. If the problem persists, check your security settings." Now I have had this message everytime I try. I am unsure what security settings I should be setting and changing. I have Norton Internet Security 2005. Please can someone help. Thanks.

it may be a problem experienced with the server:

you can check the status here:
http://sounds.msgplus.net/

Edit: try it again later everything should work fine once the problem with the server is fixed. if it does not, please post again

thankyou, but I now don't think its a problem with the server as a friend is trying to send them through a conversation and they just aren't downloading. Sorry I sound really thick, Im just not very computer literate.

The sounds are relayed via the server when you send them through a conversation. So it's no doubt a problem with the server. So, as it says, try again later ... (Later could mean 'tomorrow' or even 'the day after tomorrow'. But it will soon be OK again! Have faith (and patience)!

Servers are running fine now. Are you running any sort of Firewall (Zone Alarm, Norton Internet Secuirty, McAfee Personal Firewall)?

Can you ping sounds.msgplus.net?

Ping Instructions:

Goto the Start menu
Select "Run..."
Type "cmd.exe" without the quotes
You should now have a black window with some text similar to:

code:

type in "ping sounds.msgplus.net"

if this works please check for a firewall, if it returns a message similar to:
Request timed out.
or
Destination Host unreachable.

It is most likly a problem with your firewall or ISP.

ok well i tried waiting until today no luck. I tried the black box thing it started recieving "ISP?!?!?" but then the box just closed automatically! I really am at a loss!

You could try to turn off your firewall for 2 minutes and try to download a new sound!

Turning off the firewall did not help either! this is driving me mad!

Is there no site where the sounds can be download because i had a sound, but i had to re-install my MsgPlus, and now i'm looking for about an hour and i still haven't found it

go to http://www.MPSounds.net

many soundpacks.

right ok i downloaded a sound pack off that site, but wen tryin 2 send them 2 friends it didnt work! i really am getting peed off!
