Sounds like a Proxy Server issue.

1. Click the Connections tab. Go to LAN settings. Click Settings.
2. If the Use a proxy server check box is selected, click Advanced.
3. In the Do not use proxy server for addresses beginning with box, type *hotmail*;*services.msn*.
4. Click OK three times.
5. Start Outlook Express, and try to access your Hotmail account.

• Disable proxy in Internet Explorer
• Configure the always direct rules to msn address if you're setting your computer as your own proxy server
• Configure Internet Explorer to bypass proxy connection to MSN Address

hi,

Possible solution

• The most likely cause for this problem is that your firewall does not allow MSN Messenger to access the Internet. This happens often if you install a new version of Messenger. Make sure MSN Messenger is allowed access in your firewall rules.
  
• This error might also be occuring because there is a proxy server enabled in MSN Messenger while you do not use one. To remove the proxy settings, click the "Tools" menu and then "Options..." at your MSN Messenger main window. Then in the options screen click "Connection" in the list to the left. Next, click the "Advanced Settings..." button. You can try and uncheck all checkboxes in this screen except the one labeled "TCP" to let MSN Messenger connect through a direct connection. If that does not work you can restore the settings again by checking the boxes you unchecked before.

Hello

- It seems like somebody has hacked into your hotmail account and changed your password so you are unable to sign in.
- If messenger is tellling you: WRONG USER NAME OR PASSWORD it is that. - Otherwise try uninstalling and reinstalling msn messenger and see how it goes. - A good way to check if the password is WRONG (therefore changed) is go to www.hotmail.com and insider there put in your email and password (the ones you think are the good ones and see if it is telling you that the password is incorrect.

Failing to sign in is another thing. To check if it is a problem at your home on your computer use www.meebo.com and try sign in there. If you are able to sign in then the reinstall of msn messenger should solve your problem.

One last thing if you installed a firewall make sure that msn messenger is added as an exception in the allow programs as you will keep encountering this problem

I hope that i was able to answer your query unfortunately i dont have arabic fonts installed

Best Regards
