I’ve had this problem for the last 2 days. I thought I dabble and see what I can do and it worked straight away, I hope this works for everyone else. What I did went intoThe MSN Messenger TOOLS>OPTIONS>CONNECTION>ADVANCED SETTINGS> and unticked all the proxy settings (socks & HTTP) so only the TCP should be ticked . Applied and I got online straight away :D
tried this earlier and didnt make hee haw difference. Now it wont let me do updates
