humm..
well, that *might* be the reason, although we can never be too sure... if
this problem happens every time, then you might want to try with a new
email, if it works, it might be the cause being that your contact list is
too big for poor M$ servers to handle...
What you can still do is remove all users who aren't in your list or
reverse list from your allow/block list.. you might also want to clean
your contact list...
I don't remmeber though if you said it works with gaim...
you can also try the official client, if the problem happens even with the
official client then you might want to ask for support from msn (I think
it's something like [EMAIL PROTECTED])
if it works with other clients though, it would be nice to send us the
sniffed packets of the connection.. maybe there's something that amsn
doesn't do (I don't know what it might be but a simple possibility would
be that it takes more than 1 minute to transfer the list, after 1 minute,
we get a challenge request, but amsn doesn't send the challenge answer
unless we're "fully connected".. it might be just a simple if/condition
that prevents us from sending the challenge.. but as I said, this is a
"possibility", we can't be sure of anything unless we get amsn's and
official client's sniffed packets and compare (assuming the official
client is able to connect)

I don't think so, Sam said (s)he has no problems connecting with GAIM,
but
it could be.

I have 56 contacts (no extra users on allow/block lists), and it works
perfectly at even 1KB/sec. I don't know how it would behave with many
more
contacts and 4KB/sec, but it doesn't seem to be the only problem.
