I've tried Adium, I've tried msn for mac - all hopeless.

Adium was working perfect when I was hooked up via an Ethernet cable whilst at someone elses house, now that I'm home, last night I was able to connect to adium, after a lot of hassle. At 1am, I get disconnected(I don't know why, I just always do, every day, every week etc.) for a split second, which disconnected adium.

Was still able to browse the net, through safari and firefox, but yet adium refused to login.

Here's some info then:

Adium just stalls on that error.

I've tried things such as adding ips to the hosts, editing the dns etc. that I've read on other websites, still - no solution.

It'd be great to here what you've got to say,
Thanks in advance :)

It sounds like either the MSN servers are down or it's a network issue (probably a firewall or filter block). I've never had a problem with Adium, and I avoid Micro$oft programs when possible.

I managed to fix it, it seems what all them people on the adium support actually messed it up, not sure.

Anyway, I just edited my hosts file, deleted everything except localhost and the gateway.
