O.P. Could not locate remote server
I can connect to the internet, BUT I can't sign on to MSN Messenger or any messenger for that matter, also none of my internet browsers work (Firefox, IE, and Opera). All I get is the error messege "Could Not Locate Remote Server" Also, MSN Messenger won't connect and has errors for "DNS" and "key ports".
What's the possible problem? HELP! Please!

Thanks in Advance.

btw, I already checked the firewall and it's not a firewall problem

Have you tried the 'repair' option in the connection troubleshooter?

If you have AOL, you will need to sign onto AOL before you can log onto MSN Messenger or browse the internet.
If you don't have AOL, you are clever, and I don't know what else to say.

hmm... maybe your intrent service provider (ISP) they may have some technical difficutys. Trying calling them up see what they say. Also try to re-set your modem (if you use cable) and if that dosent work then (if you have a router) try to directly connect the internet to the computer and if that still dosent work then check the wires, who knows......

Just so you know, the above two quoted post were not made by me but by a friend. I didn't think he would type and act like that...Anyway, after much fooling around, I did the obvious and deleted the connection and remade it which caused it to start working again. Sorry if I wasted anyone's time, I should have known to do that from the very beginning  :S
