WLM9 will not sign in for me ever since I upgraded from the latest version 8. When I click sign in, I see the two little msn guys spinning round as normal for just a few seconds then the screen goes back to the login screen, there is no error message given. No matter how many times I try, this always happens!

I have tried the following ways to fix the problem:

Uninstalling all related apps, registry scan and then rebooting and reinstalling from a new download
Troubleshooting connection (which shows up all green ticks)
Checked router settings / port forwarding etc

Nothing seems to work. Can you please help? I've been off WLM for a couple of weeks now, I'm having to use web based services - which are pretty good - but just don't have the same funtionality that WLM does.

Here is a fresh log after one connection attempt

See some screenshots below if this helps, thanks in advance...







Please help, I've been without messy for about a month now!!

You WLM doesn't reconnect to a different notification server after the XFR command

It does seem to be some sort of firewall blocking the connection to a different NS (notification server).

EDIT: I assume WLM's connection troubleshooter only tests connecting to default NS server which is why that passes
