If I'm not mistaken, if msn can't connect using it's normal port ( whatever that may be) within a certain amount of time, it will switch to port 80(?), or some other port that should be open on most computers.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?

Did zone alarm give you a warning popup of something you didn't recognize tgat you forbade to access the net?
You could also try reinstalling msn.“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

yeah... any decent firewall should notify you there's a program attempting to access the net, and ask you wether to allow it or not.
I do have problems with my router every now and then, which prevent me from accesing the net, but rebooting it fixes them...Indifference is BlissComment

I can't access MSN with Zone Alarm either. I gave up trying a year ago.

It must need some port configuring then. I'll be damned whenever MSN does tell you what ports it needs, though...
Just get Miranda or Trillian or any other similar program

Go to settings in Zone Alarm and check to see if it can be removed from prohibited list, OR add as allowed.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

msn is set as allowed in all zones
i tried removing it from the list and trying to connect in order to see if it would change anything, but nothing happened. i allowed msn again
the msn troublsehooters stops at the ports part
