well this is my problem.. msn isn't signing on on my pc. but it works fine
on others. sometimes i get the message saying " user name and password is
incorrect" or " it seem you are behind a firewall" or something. Could it be
something in the connections on my pc? Does iexplorer have much to do with
it?
