This is how i solved the problem:

A few deays ago i disabled my norton internet security in msconfig because i have a better firewall, but i still want to keep my NAV

So i enabled it again, and msn works again... Easy as that!

So it seems that when you disable NIS it kinde blocks allll

hi
i download msn 6.2 and keep getting a message sayin that im not connected to the interent, and the error code is 0x81000370. i cant access my mail through msn.com either. it says co0nnection refused...pls help me.... btw my browser is netscape.. do i need explorer??? if so where can i dload it?? i ve tried downloading it keep getting yet another error. pls help me sort out this problem. 


thankssssssss

Sounds like ur firewall is blocking access, go into ur firewall and tell it to allow MSN messenger to access the net.

Internet explorer is always installed with windows, if u deleted it u can get it here:

yep, see points 4, 5 and 7 given in the list in the first two posts

hello


thanks for the quick replies sushine and cookie.. 

i do have norton anti virus on.. but cud u pls tell me how to allow msn on it. i have unchecked server certificate revocation"and ' SSL 2.0' and Use SSL 3.0'  are checked.. so it cant be that.. and i noticed my date was wrong so i corrected and restarted but still nothing..

any help will ge greatly appreciated...

thank u 

Somewhere in ur firewall (not AV) should be a applicationslist...see if its inthere and if u can change its accesstatus (maybe an option with rightclickin on the program in that list). If no option to alter accessrules...delete it from the applicationslist...then next time u start up messenger the firewall should ask u wether u want it to allow acces or not.

hii
cud  u pls tell me how to allow msn on my firewall.. coz i cant seem to find that applications list. and im using norton..

thanks so much

I don't have Norton's Internet Security, but if you realy can't find anything the last the you can do is completely uninstall and remove Norton Internet Security... Reboot... and install it again. Now when you start MSN Messenger, NIS should present you a question wether you want to allow MSN Messenger to access the net or not...

And if all that doesn't work, then try point 7B (this is the opposite of unchecking "Check for server certificate revocation" and thus an alternative method involving your internet security in internet settings):

I don't use norton either..never got it to work right so i chose another firewall etc. i'm assumin in every firewall there is about the same (i had two diff ones, in both there was applicationslist somewhere)...sorry i can't be of more help.

And yup, uninstalling and installing is the way around it if u can't find where the applicationslist is.

U GUYS... U ROCKKKK!!!! my msn s working again... thanks so much sunshine and cookie...
