O.P. WLM Ad Servers List?
I want to make sure I'm not blocking any of the hosts/servers that Windows Live Messenger uses, is there a list out there?

Thanks.

More like "I want to block the ad servers, thanks"

No I want to make sure I'm allowing them, because right now I only get the "Loading..." caption in the ad box, I allow ads on services I like and use.

List?

well if you're blocking them then you must have added them yourself, meaning you knew what they were...


though in all honesty, if anyone does post a list, i'm immediately going to use it to block the servers

He could be using a hosts file that blocks all known ad servers :P

I am using a modified hosts file:
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

That along with HostsMan app, they list a hand full of MS servers in there, I remove them but every now and again I still get the "Loading..." caption in the ad box, there is probably an obscure server in there Microsoft now uses.

Hence I need a list of all the ad servers/hosts that Microsoft uses, no reason this isn't publicly available somewhere anyway, but I can't find them, no doubt someone here knows.

Edit: They must use more than *.msn.com

Damn straight.

Which is exactly why I doubt you'll find such a list.
