    Connecting and Signing in to Messenger

    We have installed a new modem (Linksys Wireless-G ADSL Home Gateway) and
    althought we have followed all the help instructions we could find, are
    unable to sign in to messenger. Under connection options it indicates that we
    are directly connected to .NET messenger services. All the tests are
    successful and we have checked our firewalls to make sure that messenger is
    not blocked, but we are still unable to sign in to WLM. We are able to sign
    in to MSN Messenger and Skype. Our computer runs on Windows Vista operating
    system. Please can someone help.

    Don't ask me why or how as I have not changed anything that I am aware of
    except for cancelling the "Remember me" option and now I can sign in. Problem
    solved, thank you.
