msn.

We already know you can't use IM, mtracerz. =) More helpful, probably, would be views of your router's port forwarding configuration so that someone can help you figure out how to fix it.

Please read the full topic before replying; I asked him to post that screenshot. We've been through port forwarding, it is not the problem in this situation.

so does that ss help you any spork? im stumped like... rather annoying

Yeah, I'm trying to think what could be the problem. I'm a bit baffled at this point. We'll have to pick it up during the week because I'm leaving in a few minutes and won't be here the rest of the night.

Actually I did, but missed the line where you made that request. And by the way, it's certainly not clear from the conversation thus far that port forwarding might not still be the problem. But I'll leave it in your obviously more capable hands.

Apologies, mtracerz, and good luck.

No need to take things personally, justG... I wasn't attacking you.

Hi mtracerz, i have the same problem, Adium don't connect.
I think that port forwarding and router configuration has nothing to do with the problem.
In my macbook i'm running vmware with windows XP, and MSN connects on windows XP !
The same think happends with google Earth on MacOS: google earth don't connect to google server.
On XP google Earth connects and works fine.
I also turned my mac firewall off and the problem continues.

WHY ? port forwarding.... NO, router configuration ... NO, mac firewall turned on .... NO ....




Spork and justG: any ideia ?



ps: i have Ubuntu in a virtual machine in vmware on macbook too, i use aMsn in ubuntu and it works too... aMsn in my mac doesn't work.


Thanks !

-sorry for the bad english

maybe instead of disabling your firewall, open port 1863 for msn to connect through?
