Quick Fix for "MSN Messenger "connection problem

Spoke to a close friend who works at MSN. Ive'd been sick and tired of connection issue for days now. Until i tried these simple steps. It really works for me.

1. Click 'Start' and then 'Run'.
2. In the 'Open' field, type: control inetcpl.cpl, then Hit the ENTER key.
3. Under General, click:

a. 'Delete Cookies', 'OK'.
b. 'Delete Files', 'Delete all offline contents', 'OK'.
c. 'Clear History', 'Yes'.
d. 'Settings', Adjust the amount to 100 MB, 'OK'.

4. Click 'Privacy', 'Default', then 'Apply'.
5. Under Content, click 'AutoComplete', 'Clear Forms', 'Clear Passwords' then 'OK'.
6. Under Connections, do the following: (skip these if you are using DSL)

a. Select the connection in the Dial-up and Virtual Private Network settings.
b. Click 'Settings', uncheck all of the checkboxes, 'OK'.
c. Click 'LAN Settings', uncheck all of the checkboxes, 'OK'.

7. Under Advanced, click 'Restore Default', 'Apply', then 'OK'.
