MSN Live Messenger Won't Connect!

[LabAnimal]

I'm not sure if this is Network/ISP specific, but, for the last few days i cannot connect MSN Messenger!. I'm on IS network, and a friend of mine said she's on Ibust, and can't connect either... Anybody have a clue what's going on ???

Think we need bit more details....for instance do you have a hotmail account. Were you able to connect before?? Whats changed since??

Also need .net framework or something not sure...other guys could help with that.

Try connecting through GAIM, works better than the actual MSN client for me.

I can connect through Gaim using Linux, but not through the official Microsoft client. I use aMSN also, for webcam chats.

I've resolved my msn issues, i opened port 443 for openlabs on my router, and it for some reason clashed with msn!.

Could be my problem also.

Nope, can't login to hotmail or use msn, unless I use the gaim client to im.
