Default MSN Messenger not working - Help!!!

I'm having problems with MSN Messenger. I've moved into university halls and have just got my internet connection. It's through a LAN network (I think I have the terminology right!) and connects through proxy settings. Whenever I try to connect to Messenger it gives me the error code 81000314. When I try and test the connectivity, it freezes and closes down. My firewall is set to allow all MSN Messenger activity and my proxy settings are correct. I also checked the university's terms of use and it permits all instant messaging programs.

Please help! This is the only way I can cheaply get in contact with people away from home :cry:

Clare

Hmm..that MSN error code relates directly to the connection status of your PC/network to the MSN network. It could point to a local issue. Can you check that other people in your halls can connect to MSN.

Well I finally got MSN Messenger to work - found out it was my fault as I'd got the port number for the SOCKS settings wrong or something... only problem now is that I can't get webcam, audio or video conversations to work! Any ideas??

:-D Hey Clare,

You are one in a million, quoting Spongebob Squarepants, Martin Lawrence, and Bob Dylan all in one place. Totally cool .

Don't worry, you're just starting University, you're allowed to mess up :-D.

As to your actual current situation, I would start by updating all of your graphics, video, and sound drivers. Then test with Yahoo or ICQ to see if any of the other programs work.

We'll keep an eye out for your post.

It's not Bob Dylan, it's Green Day!

But anyhoo, my PC is brand new so all the drivers on it are the latest ones... :|
