Can't log in to MSN.

I am trying to log on to my MSN messenger and also email in box but I cannot get the email page up. It tells me the page cannot be forund and when I try messenger I'm told that my contact list is not available. What does this mean?

Try THIS for 5-10 pages and then come back if your still stuck.

I got this to paste onto the bottom of the windows host file

65.54.239.80 messenger.hotmail.com
65.54.239.80 dp.msnmessenger.akadns.net

but where is the windows host file? Ive tried file search on windows but no luck so far.

Those links keep sending me to double glazing adverts.

My pc is well wrong today.

Ive found my way to a file in d\windows\sys32\drivers called etc and theres supposed to be a notepad file in there called host to which I am supposed to add the numbers pasted in my previous post. But the etc file has nothing in it.

Is there a chance there is something wrong with MSN?
