Go to microsoft.com and type in ''FireWall Disable'' in the search area. It will bring you to the instructions. You then fallow those. Then go on the exceptions tab and then uncheck the IM you are using.

its not possible because such msgr versions are no longer supported by yahoo. you try changing your msgr settings, it will work. or try removing firewall at your network if there is any.

it's weird baby.. how can the sign in box couldn't be used... maybe the network is still not ready..try to wait for awhile...because i have experience that my msn was looked like not working but after i wait for awhile..it's working... or maybe your computer have any firewall program... sometimes the firewall program blocking the access of messenger.. better to try to close the firewall program first...\nfor the msn for windows millenium, maybe you can find the proper version from the msn website...

Why?\n\n1) Your firewall settings will not let you.\n2) You account or password is wrong.\n3) The msn service is down.

It would be unwise for you to remove the firewall.  All firewall programs allow you to give "exceptions" to sites that you want to have a two way interaction through the firewall.  The link below covers this issue; go to "step 5: known issues" to see how to allow MSN Messenger to opperate with your firewall.  Your firewall is your friend; it is trying to protect you.  Let it protect you and allow MSN Messenger at the same time!

Check if you have a software or hardware firewall or both. If have software then try to disable it and retry IM just to test. If it works then you have to enable your IM software in your software firewall. If you have hardware firewall (linksys or d-link router) you may have to open up a port to get it to work though usually this is not the case for IM. \n\nWhat IM software are you using?

MSN Messenger des not "connect" to an IP address. It uses your computer to send/recieve data, and the computer is what controls the IP addressing. MSN operates through something called a "port", which allows multiple programs to use the internet at the same time, as each one uses a different port. If you need assistance with this, we need to know exactly what's going on.\n\nIf it is rejecting your username and password, then it's not an internet problem.\n\nIf it simply cannot get online, then it's more likely a problem with your computer. Reboot, and if that does not help, re-install MSNIM.

Solution 1\nIn my case I reinstalled the network card and strangely that seemed to do the trick! If it doesn’t work for you, give the below solutions a try.\n\nSolution 2\nTry removing any proxy settings, you can do this by following these steps.\n1) Open up Internet explorer\n2) Click the tools menu, then Internet options\n3) Select the connections tab\n4) Click the “LAN Settings” button\n5) Ensure “Automatically Detect Settings” checkbox is ticked\n6) Untick “Use a proxy server for your LAN …” if checked\n7) Click ok, then ok\n8) Start up MSN and give it a whirl!\n\nSolution 3\nCheck your windows System clock and ensure it’s set to the correct time and date.\n\nSolution 4\nHas your Norton subscription run out? Some people have reported this will stop MSN from working. (Not sure why … so don’t ask)\n\nSolution 5\nYou can try resetting your Internet Security properties to defaults.\n1) Open up Internet explorer\n2) Click the tools menu, then Internet options\n3) Select the security tab\n4) Click the Restricted sites icon\n5) Ensure MSN.com or hotmail.com isn’t on that list. If so, remove it. Click ok.\n6) Select the Internet Icon and click the “Default Level” button. This will return your Security settings to the default level.\n7) Click ok, close down IE and MSN and then try launching MSN.\n\nSolution 6\nTry and isolate the problem, find out whats causing the the error. If you have norton, turn it off. Does the problem still appear? If not, it looks like Norton is blocking it. Read the Norton manual and find out how to allow programs to access the Internet. This applies to Zonealarm, and other firewall programs.\n\nSolution 7\nTry to register softpub.dll using regsvr32.exe.\n\n1.Press Start–>Run\n2.Type regsvr32 softpub.dll\n3.Press Enter & Restart Messenger.\n\nSolution 8\n1. If you have Norton installed, run LiveUpdate, make sure you have most current version.\n2. Delete your Quaruntine and Backup files in Norton.\n3. Reboot computer

Make sure that you have Yahoo! unblocked from your current Firewall, Antispyware, NAT software...\n\nTry what I said first, if still doesn't connect, then try visiting the link bellow and follow click on the appropriate link depending on your version and problem:\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/help/us/messenger/\n\nGood Luck

I would imagine the dormitory internet have some ports blocked.... only way around it is to run web messenger (webmessenger.msn.com). \nOR\nTalk to the IT person to see if they can unblock certain ports for MSN, etc.\n\nAre other people on the network (in your domitory) able to use MSN fine? If not definetly follow the above 2 ideas.

check your pop-up blocker.  You might have msn and its related sites blocked.

this could be that msn is experiencing difficulty with its main processor or that the server is very busy at this time. if u wait a day or so before trying again the problem should have been resolved

The router/firewall at your job may not allow you to do this.  You may either contact the System Adminstrator to allow the program/port to be used.\n\nYou could always try going to yahoo messenger and clicking Messenger>>Prefences>>Connections then selecting whichever you need to.  You sound like you know about proxies, so possibly select "Use proxies" and figure out the required data by asking the adminstrator, or try the other selections--if they screw up, simply set it back to what it was originally.
