Instant Messaging Problems Using a .net Passport

[Liza]

Er... just went to do that, was trying to look for the right button, only to discover a little text that says "Firewall Off"... (I did say I'm blonde)

What now...?

[bobw]

I wouldn't worry about turning off the Firewall, unless you have Top Secret data on your machine doubtful anyone will try getting in, and even then, really couldn't do any damage.

I doubt it's my ISP, purely because I don't have any other connection problems, and can chat on Yahoo just fine, and hubby uses same ISP and never gets disconnected from MSN.

[bobw]

Sounds like MSN is the problem. It's flakey on a Mac anyway.

I agree there are "issues"... lol... but if millions of other people around the world can get it right, I refuse to give up!

Anybody else got any suggestions? Please?
