I have a problem signing in. The error code is 81000306, I've tried
troubleshooting and it says there's something wrong with the key ports. I've
even tried to find a solution on the Microsoft Live Help but it was a waste
of time. I can't even log in on the MSN Messenger Website. Help, please :(

Greetings Alex,

A few things could be causing this problem. The first and most obvious lately is if you're
using ZoneAlarm. ZoneLabs has done some work recently to solve this problem and you can
choose "Check for updates" in ZoneAlarm to grab their latest update.

If you're using any other third-party software firewall, you may want to check that Messenger
has been permitted access.

Finally, if you're on any enterprise network or something similar, Messenger may be purposely
blocked.
