How do I find out my Net Passport number as I have lost it. I have MSN Messenger on my computer and finding it diffficult to add my contacts and I need my Net Passport number to do so, and I cannot find it. Thank you for your help.

Sure. I know what you look for. The apps name is 'MSN Messenger Button'.For MSN / Windows Live Messenger users, this application lets them add an MSN Messenger Button to their Facebook profile page. It allows contacts to add users to their MSN Messenger contacts. It also lets users find out who among their Facebook friends are using MSN Messenger and allows them to be added as contacts. In addition, this application also lets users chat with MSN Messenger friends right on their Facebook profile.

You may have to download Framework software from Microsoft.

If you can't sign in to MSN Messenger, the connection settings in MSN Messenger might be preventing you from connecting to the Microsoft® .NET Passport or Microsoft® .NET Messenger Service. The MSN Messenger Connection Troubleshooter can often find and fix these problems. The Connection Troubleshooter starts automatically if MSN Messenger encounters a connection problem. If you choose not to use the Connection Troubleshooter, or it does not solve your connection problem, try the following:

1. Click the Tools menu, and then click Options.
2. In the left pane, click Connection.
3. Under Connection Settings, click Test Connection.

If you agree to allow the Connection Troubleshooter to examine your system, it will test for connection problems and report steps you can take to correct them.
4. Optional: Perform advanced troubleshooting

To troubleshoot your specific type of connection, click Advanced Settings. On the Advanced Connection Options dialog box, check that the settings for your particular connection type are correct. To test your connection, click the Test button. Click OK, and then click OK.
5. Click OK.

When you choose these settings, MSN Messenger will use the Microsoft® Internet Explorer connection settings if possible.
6. Try signing in to MSN Messenger again.

I take it that you don't wish to use MSN for internet access. You can delete it from your network connections window.
Then you will have to set up a connection that will use either dial-up or some form of high-speed connection. That will become your default connection.
