MSN Online Status Indicator Problem
Hi All,
I'm having a problem where my MSN status indicator is returning an unknown status. I've tried different sources ato test this such as amiblocked.com and onlinestatus.org. I've put the code from these sites into my website and get the same unknown status message. I've tried all the setting on the Norton firewall and with Windows Firewall but both seem to allow MSN through. Any suggestions?? Has anyone ran into a similar problem?
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks,
Peter

Try signing into http://webmessenger.msn.com/ and see if you still experience these problems.

Sorry, maybe I was unclear in the question. http://webmessenger.msn.com/ works and so does my regular MSN messenger account. I've inserted code into a web page to check the online status of MSN. It continouslly returns an unknown status. I think it is a local computer problem, just not sure what? As I said, checked the firewalls and they seem okay. Any ideas,
Thanks

Just checked it on blockstatus.com and it is able to determine the status. Therefore, my guess is it must be some kind of local problem?? Here's the code I downloaded that I'm using on the web-page. I got this code from the page onlinestatus.org:
