IM problems
 

Right, both AIM and MSN are ****ing about. :@


When I try to sign into MSN, this comes up:

I've tried using their connection troubleshooter thing, but it says there is no problem.



When I try to sign it to AIM, it says my buddy list is not available, but is not lost, please try again later.

Then it will sign me in, but won't allow me to add anyone to my buddy list or start a convo with someone. :@


I've tried redownloading and reinstalling both, and neither worked.

Any ideas? :'(

I'm pretty sure my mother has the same problem when she tries to sign in on her computer but I can sign onto my account ok on the same computer.

Nah, no-one can get into any of their accounts on this computer. :( Stupid MSN/AIM

Working fine for me

Yeah, MSN is running fine, but it won't connect me. :@

Just got AIM to work anyhow.

you got hay firewall on or summat?

I donut believe so, sah.

How would I go aboot checking such hay thing?

Windows XP has a built in firewall, doesn't it? Seems weird it would affect MSN Messenger though...

yeah, that one doesn't, i dont think. i dunno how you'd check it. maybe your connection settings or summat

Burn it.

Checked it. The XP firewall isn't the problem, and there isn't another firewall on this comp to my knowledge.

So, it's time to swear at BT down a phone line.
