firmware problem with the router ? what else will you invent to try to give a decent answer...

I also have the same problem, with Vista 64. I never was able to make live messenger to work on a new vista 64 installation. It simply sit there and can't login to my hotmail account. It even say that the service in not available and to try later. I know that the service work, since Trillian was connecting very well.. SO the best thing to do is to forget about this lame thing and choose another messenger like Trillian which will connect very well to the msn network.

If microsoft is not able to make something that work, we simply forget it and try something else. Just like Vista, the whole thing is a mess and even the best Microsoft technician can't repair these things so don't expect that you will. As you can see here, there are no real answer as to why Live messenger won't work as supposed to, nobody knows.. Strangely, EVERY other type of similar software work very well.
