I managed to rest all the firewall settings to that I had to recreate all my firewall rules, and this time definitely opted to allow Windows Live Messenger to communicate with the internet. Unfortunately it still doesn't work. However now, sometimes I get a message telling me that messenger cannot sign in. this provides me with a troubleshoot button, which then tells me that there are problems that Messenger can repair. I click the repair button, which then tells me that there are items in my .hosts file do I want to repair them. Having clicked yes, I still have the same problem over and over again. Does anybody have any suggestions as to how I can fix this? I've tried doing a search for my .hosts file, and I can't find it.
