Key Ports I cant connect to WIndows Live Messenger and I cant visit Microsoft Websites too.I found out that its a key port problem.Many online forums state that it might be blocked by other programs,but i dont think so, as I experienced these even before I installed ANYTHING on my comp (my comp was then just formatted)Ive also openned key ports Softpub and two others.Hope you guys experts can help!!!

Try connecting to this URL:

If you can connect, then there are several different things that could be wrong:
I use XP. What worked for me was
Start > Run
Type:
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
Done.
Restart messenger.
If that doesn't work, try:
Start > Run
Type:
regsvr32 Softpub.dll Mssip32.dll Initpki.dll
Wait for all three boxes to popup confirmation.
If that doesn't work:
Start > Run
timedate.cpl
Internet Time Tab
Update Now Button.
After sync, try again.
I hope that fixes everyone's problems. I've never had this problem until I installed the latest Messenger.
