Connections

Why can't I get MSN Messenger to work? I've downloaded the latest from Microsoft and I still get a can't connect message. I have a wireless network here at home...what settings should I be using for connections. Thanks.

Do you get on the internet OK?

I was able to last night...now I don't know what is going on. Even when I was getting on the internet o.k., I couldn't get messenger working. Like I said before, I downloaded the latest from MS and soft-reset like you're supposed to do.

Any suggestions?

If you are getting on the internet, it should work. Make sure you have your account with them set up correctly, that you are signing in correctly, and that your contacts are entered correctly. If you are having internet connection problems, check out Ike's tutorial. Find it at the top of this page. Click on Resources tab, Links, then Ikehikers Wi-Fi Guide. I have found that many connection problems center around WEP security issues. If you are using WEP, be sure you have the code entered into the Ax correctly.
