Comment (by leighahall):

 having trouble connecting to MSN network as well.

 Using linux (Kubuntu 7.04 and 7.10) with GAIM, aMSN, Kopete.  None will
 connect to the msn network.

 Using Windows Vista with Pidgin, I can't connect to the MSN network either
 (I will include some debug info below).  However, using Vista with MS Live
 Messenger, I am able to connect successfully.  I can connect to AIM and
 GoogleTalk using Pidgin though.

 So, it appears that ANY program other than the MS one cannot connect.  But
 it doesn't appear to be a network problem, since the MS client can get
 through.
