MSN Messenger

[CAFC Matt]

Anyone know why for the first time today I can't sign in to MSN. It says I am working behind a firewall that does allow direct installation to the internet. However this has never come up before and I have not installed any new software.

you not on aol by any chance?

I heard reports of it doing that to people yesterday. Not sure what's happening there, but it's not just you.

Hotmail used to deny me entrance becuase I had disabled cookies when I had done no such thing!

WHO KNOWS!?

 

[CAFC Matt]

you not on aol by any chance?

Yes - and i know it is shit

 

[FatboyTim]

Just keep trying. In the end it'll give up and let you in.
If it's MSN 6.0 it's full of bugs.
Mind you, 5.7 used to do that to me all the time.

Been having this problem since yesterday afternoon

 

[CAFC Matt]

Been trying for nearly two hours

Been having this problem since yesterday afternoon

Just recieved a email form AOL saying they are trying to rectify the situation. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.

Everyone on broadband is fine (I'm not sure about AOL broadband...)
I was able to go online last night and found I was the only one able to!

 

[CAFC Matt]

AOL have really f***ed up their servers and I believe they are the only ones to have done it

My tragic little dial up link on my brand new Windows XP home desktop is working fine with MSN here in Redneck land. Not so Yahoo which is totally intercoursed.

 

[Safeway]

Where did you say you were, bhaexpress?

 

[Zeitgeist]

Been trying all bloody morning to log on. Keep getting the same old pop up suggesting I may not be connected to the internet!! Am I correct in saying its something we have to wait for AOL to rectify then and there's nothing I can do?

 

[CAFC Matt]

Yes, annoying isn't it

 

[CAFC Matt]

Still not working. It is surprising how much you miss it

********I KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON**********

its all about aol users. you wont get in no matter how much you try untill it is fixed.

i was assured it would be up and running by this morning but, as u know, this is not the case.

'the complexiety of the issue is grave and though i cant give you an exact time it will be up, aol promise you we are working on it' i was told this at 8.30.

so its just a matter of waiting or getting rid of aol and using a different server.

 

[CAFC Matt]

Thanks but it is still a f***ing nuisance. Can't really be bothered to switch servers

 

[the right footed denilson]

matt- its a disgrace simple as that.

Mine is working now.
