hey i am using windows live messenger 8 (NOT BETA)
i came to work and i got 81000314 can't connect ...
i got 3 accounts and niether of them could connect.
waited for a couple of hours and still nothing.
testing my connection proved me right ... my computer is A-OK.
but server status seems fine also.

please help me fix it... my work is 50% messenger
 
even though it is not beta live messenger still has problems i recomend using
7.0 as it is in my opinion the safest version of msn if the problem proceeds
maybe it is a firewall problem?
 
I would have to question your comment with regards to 7.0 being the safer
option for I also cannot sign in with the latest version and yet cannot sign
in with 7.0 either. Otherwise i have had no problem with 8 before today.

I can only speculate that they may be doing upgrades to selected servers
that is why only a few are being affected.
 
Same problem, combined with 80072745 - worked fine before today and all but
one in my office are suddenly having the same problem...
 
Dear all if you have not heard simply add these addresses to the following
file that should be opened with notepad and MSN will work.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts - (When you open the ETC folder open
the HOSTS file using notepad).

insert the following addresses:

65.54.239.80 messenger.hotmail.com
65.54.239.80 dp.msnmessenger.skadns.net

(INSERT THEM DIRECTLY UNDER THE OTHER 2 ADDRESSES AND ALIGN THEM WITH TAB.)

Easy done ... good luck.
 
Thanks a lot raphael I use msn messenger to talk to friends abroad, and have
only managed it after reading your comments
 
Dear Raphael,

I would like to confirm with you if I should paste your commands underneath:

# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

OR

127.0.0.1 localhost

, please?

My hosts file is like following:

# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost

=======================================

SO I would like to confirm with you and make it clearly.

Thanks a lot for your help!
