O.P. getting error 80072745 I have edited the HOST files.

i didnt get the error on monday but today, my HOST file looks like this at the present moment in time.

quote:
# Copyright 1998 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP stack for Windows98
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost
65.54.239.80 messenger.hotmail.com
65.54.239.80 dp.msnmessenger.akadns.net

Take out those last two lines in the hosts file. This error number indicates either a firewall blocking access or the server beeing off. Stop using these workarounds honestly...if you done nothing to cause messenger not to connect chances are fairly big its a serverissue, these will resolve themselves. If you are in such desperate need of beeing online use Windows Messenger or Webmessenger at those times.

More info (even tho more related to msg plus!) about the HOSTS file can be found here.

Also this has nothing to do with Messenger Plus! nor with Plus!Live...requested moving to Messenger forum.
