MSN Messenger not working?

AbyssUnderground · 13-11-2007, 18:31

Hi all,

Is anyone else having a problem signing into messenger tonight? Ive tried both MSN Messenger and Windows Messenger and both refuse to sign in. http://webmessenger.msn.com doesn't work and neither does http://messenger.msn.com which redirects to the live site. Both are dead.

Thanks

Try agile messenger or trillian...
Personally not had any problems with MSN messenger tonight but it has been a little flakey over the past couple of days signing out and back in...

No problems in Nottingham. What error code do you get? google it...

http://status.messenger.msn.com/Status.aspx says no known problems

Looks like a VM issue *sigh*

You may wish to asterisk out your IP address.

I tried a tracert to that address, and it died at the same place yours did.

I'm not fussed if someone gets my IP anyway. They won't get anywhere. Infact, here it is 127.0.0.1

(some n00b will actually try that IP only to find they hack themselves...!)

MSN not sending messages in Nottingham.

Been signed out numerrous times this evening.

AbyssUnderground · 13-11-2007, 19:22

Its an MSN issue, well, Microsofts network. I've just run tracert's from two USA based servers, and they all time out where it should hit M$'s network, just as it does here at home.

Then it times out

Then it times out.

It seems that no microsoft site except for www.msn.com is working for me.

Now also confirmed from another VM user than MSN isn't working.

xpod · 13-11-2007, 19:36

And again....
Having problems here too connecting to MSN, using any actual chat client anyway.Traceroutes are also timing out over MS`s end but i can connect to MSN using the Ebuddy site ok.

Code:

Connection error from Notification server

Thats using pidgin
......

I could connect for a second there but it just dropped off again.

AbyssUnderground · 13-11-2007, 20:46

MSN started working again about an hour ago. Odd...

Graham M · 13-11-2007, 20:50

Yeah I was having some problems getting on too, seems ok now though
