sign in errors with msn 7.0.0425 beta

Hi.

Well msn beta(7.0.0425) worked just fine until this
morning, even i could sign in today but for only like 20
minutes from about 50 tries but not anymore. There are
different error messages: internet connection, contact list
unavailable or temporary unavail.
I still have msn 4.7.3000 on my pc and it works perfectly(i
still want the beta!) i think none of my settings wrong,
what is the problem then?
If the servers down as i read in the posts then how come
older msns still signing in? It isn't a new security crap
what is blocking the ips conncecting thru company or home
servers because of ip translation? it would be really
idiotic. if it is the case what can i do to sign in?


thanks,

z.

Quite.

Has anyone found any comments on the cause and possible resolution? What
about an estimated time-scale?

Thanks

Re.

I don't wanna be a pain in the a$$ but still i would like
to know why msn 4.2 signs in without any problem. Older
versions use other servers? I'm just curious. Please answer
me if it is not a problem.

thanks,

z.
