Click START --->ALL PROGRAMS -->ACCESSORIES--->NOTEPAD
Then once notepad is open, click on FILE, then OPEN
in the OPEN box click in the file name field and type
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
then click OPEN.
After all the lines of text in this file add the following lines:
65.54.239.80 messenger.hotmail.com
65.54.239.80 dp.msnmessenger.akadns.net
then save the file and close.
then try logging into messenger.
