There's something wrong with Live Messenger, and it's rather annoying.
For some reason, after a while (in the order of days), there would be connection problems by the name "81000306".
Tried searching windows live account help to solve the problem, but the documentation's quite unsatisfactory.
Tried signing in on webmessanger, and it worked. Worked on the old windows messenger as well. So figured that the problem was the IM Client itself - Windows Live Messenger. Reinstalled it, and now it works. But I wonder how long this will last before giving more problems.
Thus, I'm now looking for alternative IM clients. Found Google talk, but havent found out that they support msn, and I'm thinking of gaim, but not sure if it's compatible with windows.
Addendum:
MSN fouling up again.
Installed Trillian.
Addendum 010507:
Dangit! The problem was indeed Norton anti-virus!
This page was helpful, though rather retarded.
Changed the setting on norton for MSN messenger to "Permit All" and now it works.

look under GAIM for windows.
Gaim does work on Windows. Google Talk will connect to any Jabber user, not MSN. Many other Jabber servers have MSN transports, if you pick another Jabber client, such as Gaim or Psi.
