Are you behind a proxy server? If not, try contacting your ISP. Those are the 2 most common things that cause it. |

arggh i knew the answers would be to complicated, please tell me what does ISP mean? and who must i contact? the internet company that provides my connection? |
||||||||

ISP = internet service provider, the people you pay to get net access. Ring their helpdesk and they should be able to put you through to the right person. Proxy Server = Is the modem plugged into your PC or another one on the network? |

if you use a firewall on your computer, that may also cause trouble, turn it of in that case good luck i like msn |

firewalls are there for a reason, i woudlnt suggest turning it of.. rather find out witch port msn uses when it sends pictures and open it for outgoing data.. |

|
so Ceri.. no idea where i can find the firewall? is that a program or what ? it has a special name ? |
||||||||
|

A firewall is a piece of software that protects your computer, but can cause problems like you've described. Can't remember exactly where the default one is in XP- I think it's in Internet explorer, "tools" on menu bar, then "internet options" then either on security or advanced if I remember. Try turning it to "off" if it's on. But if it doesn't solve the problem remember to turn it back on afterwards! |
