Colleague in my office trying to sign in to Windows
Messenger on Win XP getting the following message:

"Signing in to .NET Messenger Service failed because the
service could not be found. Please make sure that you
aree connected to the Internet. 0x81000302"

We are on a corporatee LAN and I had no such issue
connecting when I got my passport ID. Checked .NET
Service Status on her machine and it said "All systems
are stable and running."
 
Hi,

Check with ur administrator to check the settings on the firewall to allow Socks protocol. Windows messenger depends on socks protocol and most corporate firewalls block that port for security reasons.
