Update: .NET Messenger service down


Posted by RebelSean on Thu 11 Sep 2008 (10:30 GMT) (4654 views)
The .NET Service is currently experiencing difficulties and users world-wide are unable to sign-in. The official .NET Messenger Service status page has not been updated as of right now. Users are experiencing error codes 81000314. Please disregard this error message because your host file isn't the problem here.

Update: It appears that the .NET Service is still down. The status page has yet to be updated. Users around the world have been affected by this outage.

Users that are trying to figure out what's wrong with their hosts file, be assured there's nothing wrong with it. This is a problem on Microsoft's end, not your computer.

We'll update you with more information as soon as we can! While you're waiting for your Messenger to come online, visit our Community Forums.

Update 2: The problem seems to have been solved and you should now be able to use Messenger again without any issues. Here is a Microsoft statement with regards to the outages:

Yesterday (September 10) and earlier today (September 11), we experienced two outages affecting a small portion of Windows Live Messenger customers. Caused by hardware problems, both outages were quickly addressed and have been fixed. The stability of the service is one of our top priorities at Microsoft and we are committed to providing our customers with the best service possible. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and disruption any outage may have caused.

I've been having this problem since 13th January ,i was connected to it in January but when i logged out of it to go to bed the next day i couldn't log in the 2 men wouldn't move or anything...So it was working fine until then, last year it worked perfect now it doesn't i find it very strange...It's nothing to do with my internet connection because it was fine at the start of the year, i am using a wireless connection by the way..I've uninstalled it and installed it , it still hasn't done anything i'm getting fed up of this now my friends keep asking why i'm not on MSN live messenger well it's not my fault. I use XP and never had a problem with logging into MSN until now, i have to use ebuddy and i am able to log in on there..It says when i go to options that i'm not currently connected to the .net messenger service so i must of been disconnected from it or something but i was connected on the 13th January but i'm not now...

Is it me, or is the Windows Live Messenger Service Status page (http://messenger.msn.com/Status.aspx) hard-coded to *always* say there are no problems? I've never actually seen it report a problem!

It's intermittent. I'm able to sign in but a lot of people aren't, and after reinstalling stuffplug I had a bit of trouble.
