Service temporarily unavailable?

[Guest]

I've recently installed Windows Messenger. However, after installing and trying to open, I get this message:
Signing in to .NET Messenger Service failed because the service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.
Click the Help button to check the current .NET Messenger status.

What's the deal (I'm on a PC at work)?

Did you find out what the deal is? I have had this
problem for 3 days now.

I haven't received any other responses nor have I figured out what the problem is. I think I may be behind a corporate firewall that's preventing the connection. If that's the case, I don't think there's anything I can do about it.

I get this problem too.... this is definitely a problem with
Microsoft/Windows Messenger. Want to know why?

I was getting the same exact error... service is temporarily
unavailable. That is total BS. The account I was trying to use was
an old .NET account ive had for at least three years. Whenever I try
to sign in with it using MSN Messenger 6.1 or Windows Messenger 4.7...
it says service temporarily unavailable. I DEFINITELY know my
password and logon credentials for this account work because I can
sign in to other .NET websites with this account with no problem.

Now here is the kicker.... I just created a BRAND NEW .NET account
and tried to use the above two programs with 4.7 and 6.1. Guess
what.. it signs in no problem.... on the same exact hardware the older
..NET account uses.

Now... WHY is this happening to my one account? I am cross-posting
this to other threads as this is vital information to know. But I
need to get an answer on why this isnt working cause I need to link my
original .NET account to my MCP site.... and I need it working with
some form of Messenger.

If anyone has an answer to this...... PLEASE email me here at DIAMOND

This did not fix the problem. I am still getting the service
temporarily unavailable prompt.

Anybody have an answer?

It really annoys the crap out of me when I send a DETAILED email to
Microsoft Messenger support... explaining my problem... and CLEARLY
stating what I already tried to do to fix this... and they just send
me an email back telling me to do the same BS things that DON'T
WORK... (change/reset password, case sensitive, try again later, etc.)

Does anyone have a REAL answer?
