You are not signed in to SIP ......

[honjo]

I saw "You are not signed in to SIP. Click here to sign in." in the
Windows Messenger window so I clicked it and attempted to sign in then I
got an error message as follows:

An HTTPS or TCP connection could not be made. Please wait for your
network administrator to correct this problem and try again.

I am using a computer at home with ADSL connection to the internet. What
does the above message means and how can I correct this problem?

Greetings Kaz,

Are you trying to log into a SIP server? If not (and you have no idea what SIP is), click
the Tools menu, then Options, the Accounts, uncheck the SIP option and click OK.

The SIP-based Communications Server is for corporate use, obviously if you had a SIP server
on your local network you could use it but otherwise there won't be anything for it to
connect to.

Hi, Jonathan,

Thanks for your response. I do not know why the check mark was on "My
contacts include users of .NET Messenger Service". I cleared the check
mark and my problem went away.
