just wanna know..about today WLM can't login problems by rrjjkk2 on 09-11-2006 at 04:40 PM
First of all, I am not good at computing,
but I wanna know what exactly this thing done with the WLM?
and what actually happened with the WLM server?

Just put these two lines in your host file:
65.54.239.80 messenger.hotmail.com
65.54.239.80 dp.msnmessenger.akadns.net
Restart WLM and it should work.
Just make sure you remove the two lines from the host file in a day or so when the problem is fixed.
I know I am lazy..but I don't have time to search related topics, sorry.

I don't know much about it, that's just what I learnt/guessed

quote:From first appearences, it looks like the DNS entries around the world for the WLM servers got screwed with. Basically, this means that PCs couldn't get the IP address given the URL, and therefore couldn't find the server.

DNS issues usually resolve themselves after about 24 hours, when they've all refreshed there data.
