    - Error 0x81000301, Getting desperate Hi there, its been a week now that I've been trying to get arround this error without any succes. The problem is not only MSN but some sites too. I noticed Jonathan Kay respond on some topics, asking if www.amazon.com worked or not, but he never came back to that. Well, amazon.com,hotmail.com and other passport(.net/.com) sites wont work here. I keep getting a page not found error. I've tried about everything there is to find about this error on the Internet. I tried the 8 steps mentioned here, I tried registerring DLL's, I tried removing TCP/IP and stuff, I even tried to reinstall Winsock but all without any succes. I'm confident that it has something to do with Winsock/SSL, I just can't found out what it is. What runs on amazon.com, hotmail.com and passport sites that keeps getting blocked? I've set cookies to accept all, I've checked that SSL is enabled, I've added the sites to the trusted zone and set the security to low.. I really tried about everything and I'm getting very desperate. I hope someone can come up with a solution for this problem and not working arround it. I'm not gona use another Messenger, I'm not gona format etc.. Plz help me, Kind regards, Kevin Tag: dropdown list Tag: 54564

    - Problem Adding New Contacts On my MSN account "goji_boy_@hotmail.com" I am suffering the problem that for the past month or little less every person I attempt to add or who sends me an invitation to be on their contact list (and vice-versa) gives me an odd error. I allow them to be on my contact list, and for me to be on theirs... and then I get a MSN pop-up saying "blablabla@hotmail.com" could not be unblocked. But the thing is, I can see them just fine on my list, and they're not blocked... but they see me as Offline, unless I talk to them... and even then, when we chat, they see me as Offline all the time. What's up? And everytime I open and close MSN, I keep getting all the invitations from contacts from the day the whole problem started. Any ideas? Tag: dropdown list Tag: 54555

    - Odd problem: MSN drops complete internet connection This problem has been occurring since I re-installed Windows 2000 and updated MSN Messenger to version 6.2. The following configuration is being used: Windows 2000 professional SP4 MSN 6.2 A broadband cable connection using a Motorola SB4200 Modem, connected directly to the pc via Ethernet. DHCP ZoneAlarm firewall (problem occurs no matter whether this is on or off though) Here's what happens: connection is up. As far as I have been able to test, most internet applications work as expected: web browsing, using email, newsgroups, all work fine. Most of the time it's now possible to login to MSN and use it without any problems. When someone logs out of MSN and then logs in again though, the complete internet connection seems to disappear immediately. MSN tries connecting for a while, then gives up without an error message of any kind. Web pages can no longer be visited (all requests time out). All pings to any server, even the ISP's, time out without any reply. Seems to me that the connection has died. I found that a ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew reanimates the connection, although trying to connect to MSN again immediately kills it again, even the first time after renewing. Is this a known problem? I wonder if the problem is located within MSN or rather within something in the OS. Could it also be a 'fault' of my ISP? I'm really curious and I'd like to have this problem fixed as well :) Twan Goosen Tag: dropdown list Tag: 54543

    - MSN Messenger Keeps Disconnecting I'm experiencing a problem with my network and msn messenger. I have about 15 computers and they all see msn messenger sessions disconnecting and connecting again but not all at the same time. My network setup: DSL connection DSL Modem using PPPoE Linksys Wired Router with DHCP 16 Port Switch Computers connected to the switch or to the Router ports I had this same configuration for two years now, but suddently it started to happen this problem. My Router is a BEFN2PS4 and has the lattest firmware. I then purchased a new Router. My new Router is a BEFSR41 V3 with lattest firmware, and I have the same problem. I see some info about UPnP but I'm not sure if that applies to my problem since I read is something about voice over msn messenger. Please help me resolve this. Thanks a lot.

    - Another MSN sound question I am baffled, but I think I know where the source of this new problem is. My friend and I have been chatting for more than a year. We finally got the cam and voice thing to work pretty well. We both recently upgraded to 6.2 and immediately, the cam would just not work. I read many topics and saw that it was a good idea to go back to 6.1. We both uninstalled 6.2 and installed v6.1.0211. Everything was working pretty well. Then, we noticed that he would type messages to me, or me to him, and we would not see it. But the next thing we would type, we would see. Then he would send the cam and on the first attempt, I would not see the cam request, but would on the next request. Sometimes I would never see it, we would both close MSN Messenger and come back. Then we would see the multiple cancels and all would work ok. But in all this, audio worked well. Another poster here recommended running WinsockXPfix. I ran it without any problems. My friend ran it and he lost access to the internet. It seems all his TCP/IP settings were changed so that his IP became static, which is not what is needed by his provider. We reset the IP, sub mask, gateway, and DNS settings and we got internet access back. Now all we get in MSN is cam, no sound. Sound does work with Eyeball Chat. We both use Windows XP. He is ADSL with no router. I have a Netgear WGR614v4 router. Either WinsockXPfix affected some setting that now conflicts with my router or there is another setting we are missing on my friends end in the Local Area Network TCP/IP setup. We both have QoS unchecked. I have UPnP enabled. There are no firewalls. I have version 5.1.2600.1106 of RTCDLL.DLL. I think he said he has 5.1.2600.1108, but I could be wrong. Any ideas what it could be? Thanks! Michael PS: The WinsockXPfix did not change the problem we were having losing messages. Tag: dropdown list Tag: 54523

    - Can't connect to msn / hotmail / any passport site Hey there, from the home of my parents I'm unable to connect to MSN with either their PC (which has also been reinstalled after which it still didn't work) nor with my notebook. Both machines work -fine- from another location, so it's not the time, nor the softpub.dll, nor the IE settings. The only thing between it and the internet is a linux firewall. However, if I disconnect the firewall and plug it straight into the PC it still won't work. It appears to me as we're being blocked on an IP base or something, is this possible? At my home I have more or less the same firewall and there it works fine. Regards Tag: dropdown list Tag: 54497

    - 0x81000302 Hi! I'm getting a error 0x81000302 We were unable to sign you in to .NET Messenger Service, possibly because of a problem with the service or with your Internet connection. Please make sure that you are connected to the Internet. I have Msn Messenger 6.2, Windows XP, and have Internet Explorer 6.0 I have tried the following methods, but they didnt work : Click Start, then Run, and enter the following: regsvr32 softpub.dll then click OK 1. The date on your computer needs to be set properly -- double click the clock verify that the time and date are set. 2. If your password information is not saved, verify that you are typing it in with the correct case (uppercase or lowercase). 3. If you use a firewall (like ZoneAlarm, Norton Internet Security etc. ), it's possible that Messenger doesn't have the correct rights to access the Internet, especially since you upgraded. You may need to re/add Messenger to the allowed list of programs in your firewall if this is the case. 4. If you disabled your firewall in the past, it still may be blocking Messenger -- try restarting it and see if that helps the situation. You also might try uninstalling an installed firewall, to verify that it isn't causing a problem (even if it is disabled). 5. Clear your IE cache and cookies -- open Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, then Internet Options, then click the Delete Files button, and when that's complete click the Delete Cookies button. 6. Check your IE Security settings -- open Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, then Internet Options, then Advanced tab, scroll to the Security section, and verify that "Check for server certificate revocation" is unchecked. Also verify that 'Use SSL 2.0' and Use SSL 3.0' is checked, then click OK. 8. On the "Tools" menu in Internet Explorer, click "Internet Options" then click on "Connections" then click on "settings" and make sure all the 3 check boxes are UNTICKED then click OK. I need help!!!

    - For those with audio problems Hello, I spent a very long time trying to fix my audio connection with a friend using win98se and connected to Earthlink Dsl. Finally I got an inkling of what Brian and Jonathon Kay meant: Audio video calls cannot be completed if either party is behind a NAT (without UPnP NAT traversal support). DSL providers often provide NAT'ed connections -- I don't know if Earthlink is one of those or not -- but it was that would explain the problem. -- Brian Sullivan - MVP From Jonathon McKay: Greetings Sam, Are you using a router at home with your DSL? If so, the router must support Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) in order to establish voice/video connections through it. If at all possible, you should check the router manufacturers website to see if they have a firmware update that supports UPnP. Also, if your DSL provider has "NAT"d (that is, shared your IP) on their side, you also might not be able to establish voice/video connections. So I used a workaround suggested and installed: Paradial from www.realtunnel.com which integrates nicely with MSN Messenger 6.2 Something to try when every other fix has failed. Less than perfect, but it works, Stephen Tag: dropdown list Tag: 54440

Greetings Peter,

To remove these, click the Start Button, then click the Control Panel. Then, click User
Accounts in the Control Panel. Select your account name, and then on the left side of the
screen, under Related Tasks, click 'Manage my Network Passwords'. In the window that opens,
you can remove an account by clicking the passport you wish to delete [denoted by
(Passport)], and then click the 'Remove' button. For more detailed instructions and
screenshots on this procedure, see here:
