OTP: MSN/Firwall/Connection problems

Ok here goes. I am around 75% computer illiterate. I can find my way around yet need in depth explanations. The messenger keeps giving me the error of, "key ports". It says check your connection to the internet....this is ok though using the new internet explorer 7 I can surf and access Websites ok. My internet connects through a LAN and is doing so ok. I have tried installing the older msn versions and also tried reinstalling the new version of live beta. Both fail on the Key ports bit and wont connect.

It may be a coincidence but this seemed to start after I signed up to live mail?!?

I have tried turning the Firewall off and have also tried uninstalling my antivirus software and running in depth scans. I have tried repairing with the troubleshoot but still cant get it on. Any ideas?

To be honest it is now doing my head in and I need help please!!!!!

Error Coding is............80048820

Extended Error Code........80048416

Please speak dumbly to me, Im dont have full IT understanding

Thanks

I'm sorry, these forums are for development questions only. I'm afraid you need to find a consumer level forum to ask this.
