Hey guys, first off have been an avid follower of macrumors for the past year now! And think it's gr8! So keep it up peeps XD (first post as well)
Rite now to the problem! I'm not sure how long I have been unable to use msn accounts o. My mac but it's been a while :/ I have have tried every possible trick that I can think of but with no luck!
I have 3 types of email account gmail, hotmail and jabber. Both gmail and jabber will sign in fine with programs such as adium, psi and amsn but my msn hotmail account will not!
With messenger 7 i try logging in and I get the usual could not sign in your Internet connection must be off, which of course it's not! With adium it just fails to co nect and keeps trying to restablish it's self but fails. I have tried setting up new hotmail accounts, same out come. I have tried configuring my netgear router but it's working fine and has all the correct IM ports open. I have tried firewall options on / off etc and still nothing!
What I don't get is I have windows 7 on bootcamp and I can log in just fine with me msn account using that! So can all the other windows users in my home!
My set up is an early march 2009 unibody MacBook 2ghz, 4GB Ram, 160GB HDD. (running newly installed snow leopard as of yesterday)
never had any software or hardware issues since purchase, only thing I am suspect of is that about a month ago I did have norton av installed! Which has since been removed using nortons removal software and appzapper. But still norton is Norton, can never be sure!
I have been google searching this problem for the last few days with no actual result other than the usual reset this and install this crap plz some one give me a proper solution ...... Please
