I have been having problems signing up with MSN messanger since Friday. Thursday all was ok but Friday I could not get it to sign in, I let it auto sign in. I have not changed any settings.
I decided after I could not get it to sign in I would see if my firewall on my router could be causing the problem. I removed the final block all on the outbound set its (one I have that if nothing else tests it catches the remainder) removing it allows msn to sign in. I decided to add allow items for anything my block all came up with arround the time of signing in to msn and I made sure they were considerd before the block.I then put the block back and still no joy any ideas on how I can sort this without permenatly removing my default block, I have added rules to my firewall for anything msn related I can find like port 443, 6901, 1863 569 and the ip adresses 207.46.104.20 207.46.104.24 and 65.54.183.192 which I believe to be MSN addresses but still no joy.
