I am also facing some problems signing into MSN Messenger. Seems like a temporary outage.

Try configuring like this.

Code:
Rule Flavor: RDR
IF Name: ALL
Protocol: ANY
Local Address From: 192.168.1.100
Local Address To: 192.168.1.100
Global Address From: 0.0.0.0
Global Address To: 0.0.0.0
Destination Port From: 11124
Destination Port To: 11124
Local Port: 11124
Also ensure u save this configuration (D-Link -> Quick Configuration -> Save & Reboot)

I am sorry, i tried the best, now its the waiting game. I invite fellow board members to pour in their views..

I found the same from D This is the configuration for GLB-502 modem.

Step 1 Open your browser, enter the IP address of your router (192.168.1.1) and click OK.

Step 2 Enter your username (admin) and the password would be admin, which is the default password. Click OK to enter the web configuration page for the device.

Step 3 Click on Advanced tab and then click on LAN Clients and add the IP address of the computer/device you want to forward ports for.

Step 4 Click on the Advanced tab and click on port forwarding on the left side.

Step 5 Click on user and create a new rule.

Give the rule name and select the TCP and UDP both as the protocol, and specify port start, port end and port map. You need to verify the port number to be forwarded.

Click on apply and add it to the applied rules and now click on Tools - System commands and save all and restart.

this may help:

Quote:
quick fix by adding the following to the hosts file:

65.54.239.80 messenger.hotmail.com
65.54.239.80 dp.msnmessenger.akadns.net

On Windows XP, you can usually find the Hosts file at C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\hosts.

You can remove these two lines after a few days when the issue should be sorted.

Alternatively, you can sign in using Web Messenger.

It’s amazingly annoying when there are downtime issues or other technical difficulties with MSN Messenger. It used to happen all the time but more recently it’s been getting pretty good. I’ve said quite a few times that one should always have another IM program such as Yahoo or Jabber for times like this but it’s really problematic as nobody else has them.

Why dont u try upgrading to IE 7? MSN and windows messenger are closely tied with IE and maybe your problem will fix itself once u upgrade the browser.
