F2-Fan Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 I haven't had any problems with 7.5 but near the end of using 7 I was getting a message that it couldn't sign me because IE was offlline, which is good because I don't use IE.

Guest Scrapman53 Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 7.0 seemed dead slow at transferring files for me, but 7.5 is a lot quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazza290 Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 I have got the problem which Jamesy had, i cant connect to MSN and it says ''The service is to busy''. I use AOL 9.0 2mb BB through a Netgear wireless router. But its always to busy whether its day or night so i dont beleive that load of bull...!! Anyway, ive tried the repair option on the download, i have uninstalled and reinstalled msn, have tried running an older version but always get the same message. Could it be something to do with the router, i.e having a built in firewall?? If so does anyone know a way to turn it off?? Any help would be appreciated Dazza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knobby Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 (edited) Ive a netgear router also and the same problem. I uninstalled msn 7.5 and signed onto windows messenger, then got a message saying "theres a newer version available , click here to download " or a similar message. still has problems sometimes, but it seems to work when i press enter to sign in, not click with the mouse Now all works fine, Hope this helps.

F2-Fan Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 I have a netgeat router and I am running MSN 7.5 but I have never had this problem. I am on BT Broadband but I don't think my router has a built in firewall but then again I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMid Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Netgear router will also be a firewall, unless you've set it to forward all traffic for UDP and TCP for all ports to your PC, or put your PC in the 'DMZ', chances are there's some traffic not getting through. I wonder if it's something Microsoft are doing. Windows Media Player won't get CD info anymore for me until I sort out my port forwarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesy Posted November 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 hav'nt botherd trying again as 7.0 is working great(you no the saying if it int broken.......) cheers for all your replys though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorick_H30 Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 when i got my router...i had too take the firewall off... gets activated by default Edimax abuser here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazza290 Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Well i have had a look at my Router settings, and it doesnt say that the firewall is turned on. Yet i still cant sign into Msn 7.5. The only other MSN i have is 4.0 and it says it is to old!! Has anyone got MSN 6.0 or 7.0 install file they could put up (im taking that is legal, seeing as its a free service anyway?) Much appreciated Dazza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
