Trying to sign into Windows Live Messenger (yeah it's lame, but people at work use that).

I've gotten different errors under Appollo:
- Cannot log in, error: "Unable to authenticate: Unable to connect"
- When it doesn't give an error, and seems to logged in, does not show contact list.

I seem to be logged in under MobileChat, but shows no users on the contact list.

Is it the same thing? MSN and Windows Live Messenger?

Yes I am using the right password. Just reset it. Also, Apollo seems to work fine with AIM account, so it's not due to the network.
