    - 0x80004005 MSN :-((((( greetings! we all, obviously, have almost the same problem, but noone is offering any solution! since the 10th february i can't sign in on MSN from any pc. i use the newest version, with nothing new installed in meantime. everytime i try to sign in, i get the error message 0x80004005. nothing new in this newsgroup, i think. i have, however, no problems signing in over web (the same account, .net passport and hotmail). so, someone should give us here a constructive solution or at least, explanation to this problem! i don't think that Mr. Johnatan Kay has an easy job here, but his solutions were of no help so far! so if microsoft's staff has only titels but no knowledge, then we don't have to wonder why is microsoft software not working properly! best regards to all! -- Sanja Tag: unix Tag: 43861

    - Messenger voice through a firewall Problem: I have an international remote user who wants to speak to a local user without using a normal telephone so as to avoid paying for international phone calls. The remote user is on WinXP and a dial-up line with a software firewall (Norton). The local user is on WinNT4 with a DSL line and a hardware firewall (Watchguard SOHO box). I am not a numpty! I understand WinNT, WinXP, ports, firewalls etc etc, but I'm not familiar with Messenger or Netmeeting. I have searched high and low on Microsoft support and Knowledgebase and have been unable to find simple information about what ports the different versions of Messenger and Metmeeting use. All I can find is Microsoft's baby-talk tech support information. No hard info. regarding port usage. Can anyone tell me where Microsoft publish information regarding the port usage for the various versions of MSN Messenger, Windows messenger and Netmeeting? I don't need patronising rubblish about "click this button and type in this number etc". I just want the port usage. Also, I've seen a post here saying that some port usage changed from MSN messenger 5 to 6. Does that mean some features are not backward compatible? Thanks in advance, Nigel Tag: unix Tag: 43856

    - MSN Messenger behind firewalls I work for an organization that has about ten people at one location using a Novell network and another ten people scattered at other location, mostly universities. We frequently connect by teleconference, but sometimes it would be nice to have some video communication. I have looked into NetMeeting, but it seems to have problems working through the multiple firewalls that we have. Does anyone have any experience using MSN Messenger in a similar situation, i.e., Novell BorderManager firewall on one end and unknown (maybe Linksys) firewall on the other? Thanks for any help.

    - different kind of UPnP problem A puzzler for the experts perhaps. I have a home network with half a dozen XP clients (all SP1 with critical updates). These are arranged in an Active Directory Domain environment. I have a Netgear VPN endpoint firewall/NAT but one that is UPnP capable and enabled. There are Windows 2003 server-based DNS and DHCP services on the network so I don't use the DNS/DHCP in the router. Exacly one of the client machines on the network can successfully make two-way voice/video conference hook ups with systems outside the local network. All other systems are unable: symptoms are video hookup in both directions but no audio is received at the remote end from my machines. I have tried explicitly deleting entries in the "internet connection" properties; doesn't help. I've tried installing the UPnP components that aren't installed by default with XP (although the working system doesn't have those it seems). I've tried disabling the QoS scheduler (although it's not disabled on the working client). Since I have one machine that works perfectly, I conclude that the issue must be with the client system setup somehow rather than the firewall/UPnP per se. What could I possibly have set differently on the one "golden" system that seems to work just fine? The one system that works was at the point of needing retirement some time ago...I've nursed it just for this one ability but it may fail finally anytime. I could really use help to get one or all of the other systems working. Any suggestions for me, please? I'm sort of at a loss :- ( Thanks in advance. Cheers, Mark. Tag: unix Tag: 43831

    - Questions about alerts I am new to MSN Messenger and have a couple of questions about alerts. I have set up various alerts on MSN Messenger. No problems with this. To reduce screen clutter, I close the messenger window (but remain signed-in). The questions: 1. An alert shows up as a popup. It stays for a few seconds and then disapears. If I was not looking at the screen when it popped up, I would never know an alert has arrived. So, is there a way to keep the alert on screen until I dismiss it? 2. I see that alerts keep accumulating in the Alerts tab. Are they cleared automatically? If so, how does it work? Or do I have to do it manually? If so, how do I do that? Thank you.

    - I get this message during discussions "The following message could not be delivered to all recipients" Dear all, This error message only started when I updated to version 6.1. In the middle of a discussion to a single or group, Messenger simply doesn't deliver the message. I then must retype the entire message, which soon becomes very frustrating. Thinking that there may be a conflict of the versions, I have looked to see if I can uninstall the old version. However, I don't know if this is a problem, and cannot find out how to do this either. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and if so how was it corrected? Tag: unix Tag: 43818

    - Messenger 6.1 no longer starts up Weird problem has recently started. Installed MSN Messenger 6.1 last week. Got it working with video and audio. Al of a sudden this week, it doesn't start. I doubloe click the icon in the Start button and nothing. I open task manager and its not there. I try to start it with Task Manager open, and it shows up for about a second and disappears. I have uninstalled it, cleand out the registry entries, deleted the folders and reinstalled (several times) and the same thing keeps hapening. On the other hand, Windows messenger still works fine. Anyone have any idea what the heck is going on? Tag: unix Tag: 43816

    - Sign-In Problem (0x80004005 Error) This is driving me crazy. For the past week I keep getting the 0x80004005 error when I try to sign into MSN Messenger. I doesn't matter what PC I try to use I still get the same message. I created a new account and logged in successfully. I believe that there is a problem with my account on the Microsoft side however I keep getting generic responses from MSN tech support. I found a forum on another site that addressed this issue. Apparently there was a guy who worked at Microsoft who verified that this problem was on Microsoft's side and he actually was able to fix a couple of accounts of people who e-mailed him. Unfortunately he shut down his e-mail after getting flooded with requests. Does anyone know if Microsoft is looking into this problem? I'd like to be able to access my previous account so I can get all the contacts that were stored there. Tag: unix Tag: 43812

    - Webcam on MSN5.0 and NT4 I run on WinXP and MSN6.1 and use my webcam with other XP folks with no problem. We have one user running on NT4.0 using MSN5.0 (last available version for NT) and is unable to connect to our webcam. The message basically says that the user is using a version of Messenger that does not support this feature Is there any plug-in which will allow an NT4.0 user using Messenger 5.0 to view other folks with webcams??? MSN website pages of Messenger 4.7 would show webcam capabilities. Any ideas would be extremely appreciated! Thx in advance Eddie Tag: unix Tag: 43808

    - MSN/Windows Msngr - voice channel won't connect Me and a friend have run Yahoo Messenger, both voice and video work. Now we are trying MSN Messenger. Typing at each other and video channel connects fine, but when we try voice, I get "connecting to Donald", but after a minute it stops trying and says that Donald has the stopped voice. It never connects. We tried Sunday - Tueday (the 10th, Feb). I thought it was a server problem at first, because we were connected, and viseo worked, but now it's 3 days - anyone know what is going on? Besides MSN Messenger, we've also tried Windows Messenger.

    - MSN Sign out problem. Solve it now. Ok, so you got your Johnathan etc on here, well to let you know http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_mess_disable.htm Will COMPLETELY remove Windows Messenger and forever rid you of the problem where Windows Messenger signs you out of MSN Messenger. Now you notice I don't tag any MS certification and all, that's because I don't need it. I have been trying my own solutions and so forth to get rid of Windows Messenger and in the end it was 99% gone.. well then I re-discovered Doug Knox and his utility which another Microsoft person said, no no don't use it. Well there's one reason he said that. Because it REALLY DOES remove Windows Messenger. Don't worry about profile crap he spewed on about, if he really used the program he'd realize upon a reboot it actually asks you directly, "do you want to remove all your Windows Messenger Profiles", you say "Yes" and your problems are forever solved. It WILL NOT mess up your MSN Messenger and it WILL NOT mess up your computer. All my functionality, audio, video, file transfer it all works. So you can trust me or forever listen to these guys who are giving you partial solutions. Why they wont promote Doug Knox and his solution, beyond me. I've got my suspicions(but who cares).. So it's up to you solve the problem or keep posting and checking here for updates, go use an alternative Messenger. Your choice. I'm not looking for praise and I'm not looking for pats on the back or staged thank you's. I'm just providing you the solution to fix the problem period. I work a fulltime job and don't have luxury of time like Johnathan but I will help who I can help when I can. Again, your choice. No hair off my back.

    - Audio problems with Japan DSL - cable? I've been communicating w/my daughter in Japan via email and Messenger. I'm on Roadrunner. When she was staying with a family who had DSL, we could only text eachother (I didn't have a webcam yet). Then when she moved to a family with a cable ISP, we could connect both audio and video. Now that she's with another family with DSL we can't do audio anymore, but at least the video works. So we also tried other connections, like AIM, Yahoo & Buddy Talk. They all connect audio (we connected Yahoo video too, didn't try AIM). I liked Messenger the best, when it worked. Just wondering, if there was a known problem between Japanese DSL and American Cable? Actually come to think of it another family was trying Japanese DSL to American DSL, and that audio didn't work either.... -- Tag: unix Tag: 43742
