For some reason it won't let me sign on and I get this:


I tried reinstalling it and rebooting my computer. It's been doing this since last night when I got home.

yeh mate that happened to me
a lot, so all i did was go to www.oldversion.com
and download the old version of msn, in particular version 5 which now works without error for me
no errors for about 2 months.
hope that helps

EDIT:

it can also be your internet like eeyore said.
but if you can access codex i doubt thats the problem

Get this error when my Uni internet craps out and there's nothing I can do about it until it fixes.

Which is no help, but I wanted to highlight the hopelessness of your situation.

Because I'm nice like that .

[Ilya]

Use Pidgin.

[Hydrogen]

Use Pidgin.

Makes no difference as it connects to the MSN servers. If the MSN program is having trouble connecting to the servers then Pidgin won't be any better. Though I agree that Pidgin is much nicer .

Takes up less screen real estate. I also like adium .

But that's only for a mac .

[ToxicS]

Use trillian I haven't had any msn connection problems with it.

I always get that problem. It's just because MSN sucks now.

AIM moar, fool. D:

I'm pretty positive that it's just a port issue. Try to troubleshoot it threw the option given with the error. If that doesn't work you may need to manually go into your router / firewall and open it up.

I use Pidgin on my Linux box, but only because Ubuntu doesn't support MSN directly. ( and aMSN sucks real bad )

i agree with you on that..it's just port issue or connectivity issue. Restart your modem or router and try again.

I fixed it. Just went in and reset my router.

Sometimes you just need to delete a folder msn makes, it usually has your email address as xml file in it.

I cant remember the name of it atm.

Well, he's fixed it now, so your oh-so-helpful suggestion was somewhat redundant.
