msn messenger problems

HI. i just recently switched to mac and i'm never going back to pc. that's final. i have however a bit of a problem. i connect to the net through linksys wireless wrt54g router. everything works fine except MSN messenger and all of microsofts webpages. i can't get them to work no matter what i do. please help me out. the router has the latest firmware, and the problems are the same on the pc box which is wired to the router. i'm out of ideas.

All I can say is that MSN messenger is quite unstable on a Mac. I have learnt to live with it, as the alternatives available (Fire, etc.) are cr@p. No idea about the websites though. Try searching for updated drivers for ur router. A google search wouldn't hurt. Good Luck.
