MSN Firewall??

[Rafferty]

Hey there
When i try and log in on msn on my laptop its coming up with a message telling me its made

"several failed attempts to sign you in. Your firewall may be blocking Windows Live Messenger from connecting to the service. Please review your firewall settings."

Im using AOL 9.0 VR and Windows XP. As far as i know ive got no virus software or any other firewalls running. Ive checked on control panel and put msn on the "allow" list on the firewall thingy. And i dont think AOL has its own firewall does it?! If anyone could fix this little problem for me i'd really appreciate it! Im using wireless internet if that makes any difference? MSN works on other laptops around the house though, just not this awkward one!

Thanks a lot

Look at your router admin settings. Mine has its own firewall.
