hi all

msn troubleshootings on my clients is there any thing that help or related to the problem plz it;s urgent , if anyone can help
You’re not using double nat perhaps?? I.e. doing adress translation at two or more places in your network?
I’ve seen many times that this breaks SSL - which is used by MSN to connect.

is the problem related to accessing MSN website, or using the messenger program? if the messenger has problems, try enabling uPnP in the RouterOS configuration
hi
i dont have double nat on my network and i this problem is only in msn messenger on port 1863 and upnp will not solve the problem it;s a big problem really sometimes msn open and sometimes no :S what’s up
i just make a masquerade and transparent proxy (dnat with web-proxy)
on my pppoe server very simple configuration guys
do i need to change mtu ?? or i miss something ? no firewall include it
I do have similar problems and after changin MTU with the MSS everything was fixed. Normallay my isp works with MTU 1492 but i can’t have a stable connection without changing MTU. May be you can give it a try.

nice to meet u romana, i am proud to meet a girl from my country lebanon coz i live in lebanon and i am lebanese to the bones.
and for the problem u have i think u can try to use socks proxy by enabling it at MT and configure MSN messenger to use it, but without username and password.
and dont forget to double check your firewall rules and if u cloned your conf from the demo u have to chech them also carefully,coz the virus rules will have that impact also.

Also as normis said u have to try UPNP and try to read the manual part about it.
The UPnP protocol is used for most of DirectX games as well as for various Windows Messenger features (remote asisstance, application sharing, file transfer, voice, video) from behind a firewall.
It is highly recommended to upgrade DirectX runtime libraries to version DirectX 9.0c or higher and Windows Messenger to versionWindows Messenger 5.0 or higher in order to get UPnP to work properly.
New MSN have also stupid features to check connectivity quality (As i know it send packets to echo port, maybe it is the issue). Most of the lebanese ISP’s seems dont fit Micro$oft standarts

Ramona, are you interested to work in Virtual ISP(Lebanon)?
Seems you know well networking stuff, we are searching for new people.
Please send me mail to nuclearcat@nuclearcat.com, if yes, or MSN with same id.
I was changing MTU’s on my site to site wireless link and http://www.msn.com web site quit working. Changed it back and all was fine. Might be the same type problem
We are seeing the same issues on 2.9.25 and it appears to be MTU related and mostly with Linksys routers. No NAT on our network anywhere.
It looks like enabling the transparent proxy fixes everything.
Setting the ‘Change TCP MSS’ value to Yes in all relevant PPP profiles seemed to fix the issue for me. This wasn’t necessary in 2.8.
ramona decrease the mtu to 1300 … everything will work properly … quite sure about it!
Regards,
i had decrease to 1300 to chek and not work.
With 1500 work good,
I before had the same problem.
ramona, try to use msn 7.0 it should work, I’ve had a similar problem on my network with mt 2.9.6 but the problem was fixed entiarly when I installed 2.9.27 and reconfigured everything (this doesn’t sound conforting I know 
)
hello ramona , its dns problem setna . so be sure to check on the allow remotes request in dns and and also dont forget to set static dns , try it and tell me ,
thats not her real picture btw.
haha
