could this problem be the result of a firewall provided my centurytel, my dsl isp

again, a response is greatly appreciated!

Here is a tip that I believe will solve your problem.

Get the 6.0 version of Messenger from www.oldversion.com.

The 6.1 version is the buggiest piece of publically released software I have
ever seen.

Many people have problems with the 6.1 version, cant sign in, kicked out
right after signing in etcetera.

I threw away the 6.1 version after a week of agony, reinstalled the 6.0
version and have not had a problem since.

Also, I am pretty sure the Messenger "MVP" knows that installing the 6.0
would cure many problems. But he probably cant advice users to downgrade in
fear of upsetting Microsoft and losing his beloved MVP status.

Just my $0.02.
