Hi,
My messenger acts the same. See my posting from 6/23/08 but based on your
info I can expand a little to help Microsoft out.
If I bring up the messenger window and have not tried to sign on yet and go
to tools/options/connection the status is
"you are currently not connected to .NET Messenger Service.
"you are connected to the internet through wired network connection.
Ok if I now go to sign on I enter the password and end up with the
constantly twirling icons. If I click on tools/options/connection while the
icons are twirling I get
"You are directly connected to .NET Messenger Service"
"You are connected to the internet through wired network connection"
and the icons continue to twirl and I cannot really log on and use the
service. As noted in my other post; friends can see me and I show as online
when I am really not functional.
I also get messages the so an so has tried to contact you but the system
cannot connect.
This seems to be a wide spread problem only people are opening up multiple
reports with slightly different names
