I'm having a problem to sign in on MSN Messenger from few months. It used to give me an error of cannot sign you in, make sure you are connected to the internet. While I'm already connected and using Internet Explorer. But after time, after I try and try to sign in, it works. It signs me in, but i have problems getting what people are saying or me talking to other people. Now, it's getting worse, I can't sign in AND I can't use www.hotmail.com!! It tells me "Cannot Find Server", while other sites work! Please help finding a way to solve it because it's really getting on my nerves .

Thanks..!
