U need to keep something in mind. BSNL does not block any specific ports. If nothing is working out, i would suggest a clean re installation of the OS after making necessary backup. Else u can try alternative messenger clients such as pidgin.

Jindly checkout Pidgin, the universal chat client

supershane4141 · 01-29-09, 08:56 PM

ive tried connecting with Trillain, only yahoo connects through it, but not MSN
so im gonna try Pidgin as u said

ok i just tried Pidgin, but still i dosent work
i also installed the new IE
what should i do now?

01-29-09, 09:23 PM

hmmm... just as a check .. have you tried to login to msn using some third party client which provides access to multiple IM services ? try one of them and see whether you are able to login or not:

try these:

Cerulean Studios: Creators of Trillian and Trillian Pro Instant Messengers
meebo - online web IM for AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Google Talk messengers
Web and Mobile messenger everywhere - eBuddy former e-messenger

supershane4141 · 01-29-09, 09:27 PM

it gets connected through web IM, but not through Live messenger, could there be some thing wrong with XP?

Its worth a try. U can try reinstalling XP like i mentioned.

supershane4141 · 01-29-09, 09:40 PM

Use http://download.softpedia.ro/dl/f32c.../Messenger.msi for direct downloading .. Be warned that its about 24MB in size.

MSN Messenger Error Code - 80048820

When you try and launch MSN Messenger and try to logon, you get an error message 80048820. A wild guess, your system time / date needs adjusting.
The Cause of Code 80048820

There are a variety of causes of this error:
1) Incorrect Proxy Setting for Internet Explorer.
2) softpub.dll may have become unregistered.
3) Your system clock may be showing an incorrect time (or date!).
4) Firewall problems.

The Solutions to MSN Error Code 80048820
Internet Explorer - Try removing Internet Explorer proxy server settings and go with the 'Automatically detect settings'.

1) Launch Internet Explorer, click "Tools" and then click Internet Options. From the Internet Options dialog box, go to the Connections tab. Click LAN Setting. Un check the Use a proxy server for your LAN (These settings will not apply to dial-up or VPN connections) checkbox. Finally positively tick: 'Automatically detect settings'.

2) Register softpub.dll.

Quote:

Click Start (Button), and then click Run, type regsvr32 softpub.dll. Restart MSN Messenger.

3) If necessary, logon as a local administrator, set the computer's clock to the correct date and time. (Check on the internet if possible.)

4) Turn off the firewall temporarily. Check firewall settings such as Norton: "Block access to secure sites". If this cures the problem, make sure that Microsoft's MSN Messenger is allowed full access through your firewall.

U must be checking whether one port is opening up or not, right? Here use this Port Forwarding for the Dlink GLB-802C to forward the particular port.

The given link is for portforwarding in utorrent, but u must get a general idea of the changes to be done in router.

essbebe · 01-30-09, 08:55 AM

Your replies are general in nature ,
not complete and lacks details.
for various tweaks suggested.
Hope you succeed after doing PF.

Over to you @cool_techie_tvm
First time , I find , PF tweak for Windows Messenger being attempted !(My version 4.7.3001)

this is how i tried 2 open ports

essbebe · 01-30-09, 11:42 AM

MSN.messenger 7.5 Arrggghhhh
[Open in new window]

2. Have you enabled UPnp in your router?

cool_techie_tvm · 01-30-09, 11:47 AM

Use something like Revo Uninstaller to uninstall MSN Messenger along with the registry entries and all the associated files. Normal uninstalling doesnt remove all the traces of the software from the PC. U need to use these specialized tools for complete removal of certain softwares.

U can try Your Uninstaller Pro too for doing them same.
