Signing in to MSN/WLM by Curtis on 04-12-2006 at 12:35 AM
Since about four days ago, whenever I tried to sign into WLM it wouldn't work. I just kept getting the troubleshoot box. I tried re-installing WLM, I tried un-installing Msg Plus! Live, and I tried installing MSN 7.5. None of these worked. Does anyone know what my problem may be? If you need more information just ask me.

This may be a local thing, like the MSN servers do not work for a certain area.
One thing is that you may have blocked msn.com and other WLM/MSN Messenger related servers from your hosts file. Also try calling up your ISP and see if they blocked some ports or blocked some hosts ect.
Try restarting your modem by unpluging it from the power for 30 secs then repluging the power. Try to see if any of your friends can use WLM/MSN Messenger.
Again this may (probably is not) a WLM/MSN Messenger server thing.
This probably won't slove your problem but still worth a try

I've tried all of those things except for the hosts file one. I don't think I blocked them because I don't know how. It isn't a local thing because one my my close by friends can get on fine. I just need to do the hosts file thing.

Start > Run > regedit
RE: Signing in to MSN/WLM by Curtis on 04-13-2006 at 12:26 AM
The registry thing isn't the problem. I just gotta try the host file. Someone help me with that?
RE: Signing in to MSN/WLM by Supersonicdarky on 04-13-2006 at 12:31 AM
C:/windows/system32/drivers/etc and the file is hosts with no extension, open file in notepad
(i called the path out from memory, so if its wrong, correct it)

Nevermind, I found the problem. Some noob (My sister) set the clock to January 2003.
