The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

MSN Messenger Error 81000306

Asked by HM2K in Miscellaneous Software

Tags: , , ,

I recently got requested to upgrade MSN Messenger 7.? to the latest 7.0.0816

Since then, every time I attempt to sign into msn messenger I get the following error message:

"We were unable to sign you into MSN Messenger, possibly because of a problem with the service or with your Internet connection. Please make sure that you are connected to the Internet.  81000306"

I have looked up this error on google, most places suggest turning off the proxy and sock settings allowing only the tcp settings.

I go to Tools, Options, Connection, Then Advanced Settings, and untick all of them apart from TCP. Then under TCP I click "Test TCP Connection", which says: "Resolving the server name...
Connecting to the server...
Connected, verifying ability to send data now...
Success, you can connect to the MSN Messenger service."
So that is working.
I press OK, and OK again.

Back to the options menu, I click "Test Connection..."
"Please wait...", So I wait... for about 1 or 2 mins.
Then there is an error: "We were unable to troubleshoot your connection to the .NET Messenger service. There is possibly a problem with the service, your Internet connection, or your proxy settings. Please check your settings and make sure you are connected to the Internet."

I am infact definatly connected to the internet, via my router, and am using it to make this post.

One additional thing to note, I do have MSNPlus installed, however this shouldn't interfear.

I have no other firewall software apart from the default windows one, which should work anyway.

So now what are my options? Where do I go from here? How do I fix it? What is the solution to this problem?
