MS Messenger for Mac "Service is not available or you're not connect..."

Good link, thanks.

Thanks for the link dissonance. 

I have checked the firewall like they have discussed on there. I have tried connecting with my machines firewall completely disabled, and my router is set to allow all IM ports. I have also checked that my routers firmware is up to date.

It's interesting that end.user on that thread could connect when he used a different router, although I'm not sure what else I could try with my router (and I've had Messenger for Mac connected through my router on a different machine and also know Windows machines can connect to MSN now through my router. )

Anyway I'm going to keep having a look there to see if anything is added.

I've got a response from the product specialist team requesting information about my firewall. I'll keep posting any developments on here.

Thanks Dan.

I've changed my router, and since been able to use Microsoft Messenger on my Mac.

Thanks for everyone who posted on this thread.
