Bizarre scenario, It was logged in last night, then disconnected ( I installed it about a week ago and it has worked fine). Since then It never connects and gives me error 80072745. Fairly generic check your internet check IE etc crap. My PC has not changed since last night. I have no software firewall my NAT on router has not been changed etc. All the MSN built in tests are successful when tested.

Bizarrely my Trillian (previous IM client) still has that account and that wont connect either. Webmessenger works fine. I done a reinstall (against my better judgement, which made no difference).

Has anyone else had this. Other people can login, just not me. I refuse to believe it is a configuration issue at my end. I think there is a problem with certain accounts logging in through the thick clients. Is this possible?

Happens often to me, usually it's fixed for me by leaving it alone for an hour or so and then retrying.
No problems today though I woke up my pc out of hibernation and no problems with msn live.
 
I can log in fine.

Have you tried rebooting?

I feel like a chump now. Rebooted router and it works fine now (Netgear DG834GT). Cannot understand what was wrong as logs were OK and all other services and forwarded ports worked OK.

I will have a proper dig around if it happens again.

bringing up an oldish topic.

i have to keep re-booting my netgear dg834n every day to get msn working now :( any ideas?

Wish they would bring out some new firmware for this thing.
