Having problems here.
MSN v8 gives me an 81000306 error when trying to connect - says a problem with my internet connection (yet everything else works fine online).
Trillian (which I use all the time) connects fine no problems, but my list shows everyone offline (despite one of the kids being online MSN on their machine and I can't see them - and no, they don't have me on block :p)
I go and look at the service status and guess what!! "All systems are stable and running."
Yeah, right
This is just another reason for me to bin my hotmail account off and use yahoo instead. The new MSN live mail is pretty awful tonight too.
