I have been experiencing this problem for a few days now, I see everyone
online and I can talk to them but they say I appear offline. There are also
irregular timeouts when other people try to talk to me.

This problem, stating that this is a server-side problem, is one major
problem and if I search enough to find other people experiencing the same
problem, it seems there is no proper solution to this problem?

I tried several other PC's, other networks to connect to MSN but they all
seem to have the same problem. It is not a constant problem because sometimes
I appear online for some time but that's it...

Indeed.

Although these problems have come up from time to time, they have been localized -- there are
some brute force techniques to fixing it (aka, delete everyone and readd) but I'm unsure if
it will simply solve itself in this case.

I'm afraid I don't know what's going on yet with this.

It does work, but only for that sign in (for me anyway). If I sign out
and back in again, then I have the same problem with the same contacts.
