Not sure if this is in the right section but this seems the closest to. Basically I recently connected to Xbox Live using a netgear router, Used my hotmail addy as the email address needed (was for my son but they wanted mine cos he's only 13) and my MSN kept signing me in on it's own. Tried disconnecting the Xbox from the net and going back to PC - ethernet cable - modem, still did the same. Tried changing the security settings on MSN to stop it doing this and now half the time I've lost the icon in my tool bar, but if I leave my PC alone and switched on (which I hate doing) hey presto it was back and I'm was signed in I'm using Zonealarm firewall and which I've no set to deny MSN access to the net, so now I get loads of warnings telling that its trying to access the net and when I tell it to let msn access the net it throws a fit and does the "computer says no" act lol Friend of a friend suggested that I install IE8 to see if that would solve it and that has the download MSN live tag at the top when I know for a fact it's already installed and I can even find it in the control panel! Has anyone got any ideas as to what can solve this?:confused:

Heard about this site from some people I know and been meaning to have a good look for ages now. Really glad I did cos just looking at some of the posts has sorted out 2 problems I've been banging my head about for a couple of weeks :)
