First person to catch the 600k pageview with a screenshot will get either a free sketch or a colour chibi from me. ^^

Msn is ok for me

First of all I wanna thank everyone who gave me suggestions, it was really nice to see soo many people who wanted to help. It was kinda annoying when people told me to try the most simple of things that I would have already tried before I asked online. But I do realize that you were just trying to help.
For future reference if I am asking for tech help, I more then likely have tried the most obvious options first before asking.

The thing that really got to be tho is how many people came out of the woodwork to tell me to get vista. I really didn't appreciate that.
I do not have money to buy it, I don't like the idea of vista, and XP has worked fine for me for years. So I don't want to get into debates about which is better because I really don't care, I have what i have and I'm not changing!

I did manage to find out somewhat what was wrong with my msn, it has to either be my router or the modem at home. I found this out because my mom's comp has the exact same problem, and well now that I am at college with a totally different Internet (wireless) my msn has been working. So I am pretty sure its one of the two (router or modem) that has a firewall or something blocking some signal msn needs to start.

So basically I now need to fix that for my mom so she can chat with me and not feel as lonely.

Going back

I have moved back to college which is ok, and I am getting in the hyper about it and all, I start classes tomorrow and I guess that means I won't be online much, but at least I'll be sketching a lot again. ^^
I am really looking forward to hanging with `sambees again and hanging with ~DemonicSerpent101 today. Plus rooming with ~Mother-of-Kitties's little brother, and seeing her again as her family brings him up.

Hopefully this year will be considerably less stressful then last year. XD

That's really dumb - saying that you should go from XP to Vista - especially seeing as MSN isn't fully compatable with Vista (I had such fun trying to install MSN on the new Vista running computer).

Put the setting on your router back to default with the reset switch....holding it in for 30 sec should do the trick....that might help if it is a router issue

I tried so hard to get to the 600k mark.
I even sat there on the page and kept refreshing like "Ok, I'm going to get it. I'm going to get it!" ^^;

If it's a firewall issue, you need to open ports 1863 and 443 for msn, and ports 5190 and 1024-65535 for ICQ. More details can be found here: [link] The firewall is on your router. If the modem is the problem, you'll probably have to replace it.

Do you know which brand of router you have? If so you could probably find a manual online that'd explain how to forward or unblock ports.

MSN uses port 1863, so you can check that with the software firewall (if you have one)

If that doesn't fix it, you can try forwarding it to one of the computers... This will keep the other comp from being able to access it, but that'll pretty much confirm, or deny whether it's the router.
