http://messenger.msn.com/status.aspx... shows MSN's messenger status.\nAs of now, its reporting that:\n\n"Sign In\nThe .NET Messenger Service is temporarily experiencing difficulty. You may be unable to sign in. If you are signed in, some features may be unavailable. Please try again later.\nLast Update: 15/11/2006 10:23:00 Pacific Time (GMT -8:00)"\n\nIts a general problem. Just wait a while & they'll fix it.

Two reasons can be behind this problem:\n1 - You are activating firewall and it blocks IM.\n2 - You are may be using an old version messenger (Windows messenger and not msn messenger) and it cannot connect to msn server.\nYou can contact me if you need more help.\nHope that will help you

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

The last time this happened to me Yahoo! Messenger folks said some kind of java problem. Nothing worked and I just switched to using Trillian :(\n\nOnly when I formatted my computer did things start working again.

I can't get into mine either. Messenger seems to be having a few problems of late but apparently they're fixing it. Must be gremlins in the system again.

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...

MSN Messenger is programmed to update and NOT allow you to sign in UNTIL Updated. So, if it can't update itself when you try to sign in, go to messenger.msn.com and download the latest version of Messenger.

upload the new msn and it will replace it. Go to www.msn.com to get the newest version..msn 8.0

try this if it still doesn't work contact yahoo.\nIf Yahoo! Messenger is unable to connect to our servers, one of the following may occur:\nYour software may display a message that says it can't connect.\nThe yellow "Connecting" light might last for a long time.\nThe light may stay grey and say "Not Connected."\nFirst, check your email or surf web sites to see if you are connected to your ISP (Internet Service Provider). \n\nNext, make sure you have Microsoft's Internet Explorer version 4.1 or above installed on your machine. If you use Netscape as your browser, you don't have to switch to Internet Explorer or even run Explorer. In order to update your system files, you just have to install Internet Explorer. Yahoo! Messenger uses files from Internet Explorer to run. You can download version 5.5 from: \n\n   http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.htm \n\nAll of the above conditions indicate a connection problem, not a problem with your Yahoo! ID or password. (If you receive an Invalid Login error message, there is a problem with your ID or password.) \n\nIf you receive a message that says "You have been logged of as you have logged in on a different machine," this means that you have logged onto the Java Messenger while you were running the Windows Messenger, or vice versa. \n\nIf Messenger was able to connect before, but has suddenly stopped, we may be having temporary server problems. These types of problems are usually resolved in a matter of hours.\n\nIf the problem persists, your Messenger connection information may be incorrect. \n\nIf Messenger has never been able to connect, try this: \n\nOpen the Login menu in Messenger. \nClick on Preferences, then click on the Connection tab. \nClick on No network detection, then hit the OK button at the bottom. \nMessenger will ask you if you want to try to log on with your new proxy settings. Click the Yes button. \nWhen prompted, enter your ID and password, then hit the Login button.\nIf that doesn't work, follow these steps:\nOpen the Login menu in Messenger. \nClick on Preferences, then click on the Connection tab. \nClick on Firewall with no proxies, then hit the OK button at the bottom. \nMessenger will ask you if you want to try to log on with your new proxy settings. Click the Yes button. \nWhen prompted, enter your ID and password, then hit the Login button.\nThe above configuration will work in almost any situation. However, if you connect in this way, you won't be able to use the voice chat feature.\n\n\nIf neither of the above options work, you're probably behind a firewall or proxy server that requires you to enter its address. Follow these steps:\n\nOpen the Login menu in Messenger. \nClick on Preferences, then click on the Connection tab. \nClick on Use proxies. Here you can enter your firewall and/or proxy server's address and port number. Contact your network administrator (if you're at work), or your Internet Service Provider (if you're at home) to determine the correct firewall and proxy settings.\nNote: If Messenger crashes and you can't connect, please read our Messenger Crash help section.

msn messenger can be troublesome at times, i find the new live version is better than previous ones for singing in with no trouble.\ni would suggest changing password if you are worried about someone else getting into your email.

Maybe there might be something wrong.\n\nI think you should go through all the process of getting your message and see if that works again.\n\nGood luck or find help on that site.

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.
