Sign in to .NET Messenger Service failed because the service is temporarily
unavailable. Please try again later. 0x80004005

What does this mean and how do I fix it? Both Windows Messenger and MSN
Messenger (6.1.0207) show the same error when I try to sign in. I can sign
in to .NET just fine via web browser and I can also read MSN Hotmail,
configure my .NET account, etc, so the account and password works fine.
Please help. I am on Windows XP Pro SP1.
