My MSN just went off a few minutes ago. I'm chatting to a friend on yahoo who's msn has also gone down. Anyone else suffering with us? Usually i like to pride myself on being the first to open a thread up about it then the entire system crashes....but it could just be a regional fault.

Sooo anyone else suffering?

My MSN is working fine .

Same...i have 13 people online also who are experiencing no problems

Try the troubleshooter. On the top of the contact list click...

Tools > Options > Connection > Connection Troubleshooter: Start

If you're in the UK you're not the only one. I can't even access MSN.com.

Must be busy because of the exam results... Woo I passed.

• First, check the .NET service status as this error may be caused by problems at the MSN servers.
  
• If there are no reported problems on the MSN servers, see if your proxy settings are correct: click "Tools" and then "options" at your MSN Messenger main window. In the options screen click "Connection" in the list to the left. Next, click the "Advanced Settings..." button. If you do not use a proxy server, these textboxes should be empty.
        If you are on a network the network administrator can probably tell you if you should have proxy settings in Messenger.
  
  
• Make sure if Internet Explorer supports 128 bits encryption. Open Internet Explorer and click Help, then About Internet Explorer. If the Cipher Strength is less then 128 bits download and install the Internet Explorer High Encryption Pack. MSN Messenger needs encryption to authenticate (check your username / password)
  
• In Internet Explorer: click Tools, then Internet Options, click Lan Settings in the connection Tab, click the "automatically detect settings" button, then click ok twice to confirm. This will let Internet Explorer and MSN Messenger find out the best way to connect to the Internet via the current network.

I tried the connection thing which says it connects fine, but it still won't sign in.

EDIT: Just signed in for me.

msn was down for a bit but everything is back and running now, give it a try
