Logging in with MSN Messenger - please help!

Question

Hello!
I really hope somebody can help, I've been trying to get iChat to work with my MSN Messenger contacts for about 2 weeks now and have trawled through the advice on this forum but nothing has worked properly.
I've tried Ralph Jones (I think)' helpful advice, been through the top three links and registered with Jabber about 5 times but no success. If you are reading please help Ralph!
The first time I tried it, it did work and I spoke with somebody for a few minutes, however then it came up with an error that said 'Not available' when I tried to send a message. Since then all my contacts have showed as 'Waiting for Authorization' but this status never changes. I think I've tried everything - I've tried different servers on the third link, I've tried the UK one (I'm in the UK) but nothing seems to work.
Please help! This is the final step as every other application I've got working fully!
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi,
I used Psi to set up my Jabber name and transport on Jabber.org.uk
Then I added that Jabber screen name as an Jabber account in the iChat Preferences > Accounts
Like you I find that sometimes they seem to stay at Not Authorised.
Check with the Psi app that the Transport is active.
Also contact Gil Taylor in table 2
http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/ContactTesters.html as he seems to know more about this.
Use his AIM name first and text him.
