can anyone help me with the installtion of msn6? piece of shit!

Hello,

Thank you for contacting MSN Messenger Support

We understand your inconvenience since you are not able to use the MSN Messenger v6.0.

Regarding your issue, please note that if MSN Messenger cannot make a direct connection to the Internet from computers or networks that are behind firewalls or NATs, it will attempt to connect by using the same connection settings that your default Internet browser uses. If MSN Messenger connects in this way, its features are limited to sending instant messages and seeing which contacts are online.

For great performance and full feature availability—including being able to transfer files by using MSN Messenger—you might be able to configure your proxy servers in a way that allows your network or computer to connect directly to the MSN Messenger servers.
For instant messaging
1. Set outgoing TCP connections to port 1863 on your proxy servers.
2. On the Messenger main window, click the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Connections tab.
3. Note the information that is required on this tab.
4. Provide all network users with the information and instructions they need to properly configure the Connections tab of their MSN Messenger program.
5. Make sure the internal local area network has access to the Domain Name System (DNS) servers to resolve the names of external hosts such as messenger.msn.com.

For file transfer

1. Open as many TCP ports as you can between 6891 and 6900.
2. Configure the TCP ports so that sockets on a port remain open for an extended period of time.
Note
If you are using a network address translator (NAT), file transfer will not work unless you have a Universal Plug and Play NAT (UPnP NAT). If you are not sure what type of NAT you have, check with your computer manufacturer or NAT vendor

1.) Are you using software that acts like a firewall (ex. Zone Alarm, Norton Internet Security, etc)?
2.) Are you using a proxy server or do you connect to the Internet via a proxy server? LAN?
3.) Is the status of Port 9000 in your proxy server or firewall open or blocked?
4.) Do you use a router? What particular brand/model do you use?
5.) Do you use anti-virus software (Norton, McAfee, Symantec, etc)?

Sincerely,

Perry
MSN Messenger Support Representative

[lammer]

help?

[AquamosH]

Ok, so what's the problem you're having? Can you not send and/or receive files?

[lammer]

i can't install it because i can't direct connect to MSN or some shit thats what they said.

[xDiMSuMx]

go to http://192.168.2.1 with your web browser
login and turn off your firewall

[lammer]

nevermind, i got it.

K i turned off my firewall but still no go?

[xDiMSuMx]

if u haven't set it up yet it would probably be blank

[xDiMSuMx]

if not, go reset your router and i think that would clear the password

[lammer]

damnit still can't install!

[xDiMSuMx]

lol u sound a little frustrated

go login again and click setup at the top

then click misc on the left side

try setting your computer on DMZ mode

u can check which computer u are by goin to the status window

don't know if this will work but it's worth a try

[lammer]

k thanks dimsum haha stay on here so you can help me out!

[xDiMSuMx]

[lammer]

i try to install half way then it says terminated

error 2775..then i click okay, yaddie yadda. and says error 1603

[lammer]

okay heres a soulution i thought of..
FORMAT haha fucking piece. i wonder if it will work if i format.

[xDiMSuMx]

did u try uninstalling the old version first?
reboot?
download msn6 again?

[lammer]

yeah i have, i've tried to uninstal it. i've tried redownloading. restarting everything. just can't get it to work.

[xDiMSuMx]

well is there a reason why u wanted to go to msn6?
if u just use msn for messaging u could download trillian
