Unable to connect to Windows Live

Strange problem on my fully upgraded Arch system. Seems I'm able to connect to every website except Windows Live.
I can load live.com and see the login form. Attempting to submit the form (in Chrome) results in a timeout, followed by the error message:
"Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): Unknown error."
I can log into to the live.com website from other computers in my house, so there's nothing wrong with my ISP.
Attempting to connect to msn in pidgin results in a long wait, followed by: "Connection error from Notification server: reading error".
Here are the relevant sections from my pidgin -d output:
(00:34:46) util: Writing file /home/dugan/.purple/prefs.xml
(00:35:23) soap: read: Connection reset by peer
(00:35:23) soap: Received secure request.

My Pidgin msn connection settings are all at defaults: server: messenger.hotmail.com; port: 1863; use HTTP method: no; http method server: gateway.messenger.hotmail.com; Proxy type: Use Global Proxy Settings.
On my Slackware box, in the same room of my house, Pidgin has the exact same settings and has no trouble connecting to msn.
This problem has persisted at least since yesterday (when I noticed it).
What's going on?
BTW, I should mention that I had successfully used pidgin on Arch Linux just a week ago, with a 2.6.33.7 kernel and a TL-WN321G wifi dongle. Here is photographic proof. Now I have a 2.6.35-ARCH kernel and a TP-Link TL-WN722N, and live.com is not working.

I have the same issue.
can not connect to MSN since last upgrade on yesterday.
have no clue...
-----------------------edit------------------------------------------
I was using telepathy-butterfly as the backend to connect to MSN,
and it failed.
but if I changed to telepathy-haze (which use the same backend as Pidgin), it works.

  • OneNote cannot connect to Windows Live

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem with OneNote 2010. I want to create a notebook and share it using the "Web" option. However, when I try to connect OneNote to Windows Live, it keeps "connecting to server" for a long time and then reprompts, saying
    "Unable to connect to Windows Live". I don't even get the sign-in dialog box.
    I've tried the following solutions:
    1. Reset IE settings
    2. Checked Firewall exceptions
    3. Ensured Windows is updated
    Some people have bene able to solve the problem by switching off Two-Step Verification, but I haven't turned it on in the first place.
    It's vital that I am able to share this notebook with my project researchers, so solutions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Arish

    Hi there,
    I have the exactly the same Problem. First it started on my Desktop Computer, then two days later i realized the same issue on my Notebook Computer. Logging in on OneNote online, Android- or iOS-Devices works fine.The only special thing on the
    day I first realized was that I set up a different computer using Windows 8.1 and the same Windows Live-ID.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    why would you steal your music id password? ..nokia id / account is different from windows live id btw.
    maybe you already have a windows live account, thats why its showing the that problem. check settings > email+accounts > you should ideally have only one(1) 'microsoft account' in there. if you want to use another one, you might want to just 'change' the existing one with your new credentials.

  • Remove log in password for user account connected to windows live

    Hi, I had connected my windows live account to my local account, which is running windows 8.1
    Now, it is asking me for Live password every-time I have to login to my windows. Is there any way to remove this password? I want to keep my Live account connected, but don't want to enter password every-time I want to login.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    When you connect a local account to a Microsoft Account, then the logon password will also be changed to the password of your live account, this is unavoidable, but if you think that typing the password every time is too annoying, then we can use a PIN
    instead, move the mouse to the right charm bar\Change PC settings\Accounts\Sign-in options, type four digit number as your password
    We can also use autologon tool to automatically logon to the account after you start your machine, but please note that this might cause potential security issue because everyone who get the machine can have access to to your Microsoft Account.
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963905.aspx
    just download the tool, then configure as below, here, you need to type your live account as the username

  • Printer Unable to connect on Windows 8.1 64 bit based Lenovo Laptop.

    We have HP LaserJet 3030 all in one printer installed on Windows XP Professional. We are using LAN network to connect the printer on network. But our Printer Unable to connect on Windows 8.1 64 bit based Lenovo Laptop. Also check for windows update for this issue. Please fix this quickly.

    Try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?
    If you can't get a working installer via the standard download links, try the following download links instead:

  • Unable to connect to Windows Printer

    I have an HP Photosmart C3180 attached to my wife's Vista machine that I am unable to connect to. She had an XP machine until a few days ago that I had connected to via CUPS with smb://username@machine/share.
    I've tried the same now that it's set up on the Vista machine with absolutely no luck, what I'm getting is the NTSTATUS_ACCESSDENIED messages when trying to print.

    I suggest that the Vista system is refusing you permission to the resource.
    You will have to look at the Vista end to fix this.
    Is the printer shared in windows?
    Is the firewall enabled?

  • Unable to Connect to Xbox Live on Xbox One due to ...

    I have been on the phone for a few hours this afternoon trying to get this sorted and the conclusion of my last call to BT was that I needed to register on a tech experts website? Put simply, I need to open a list of seven ports that are listed here:
    http://support.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-one/networking/network-ports-used-xbox-live
    in ordder to be able to connect to Xbox Live with my Xbox One, this is an issue I have had since upgrading to infinity.
    Can somebody do it for me, I have the IP address of my Xbox One, or can somebosy point me in the right direction?
    It seems to be taking a very long time to get sorted.
    Thanks in advance.

    Think I can help here.
    First of all I assume that you have disabled UPNP on the hub?  If you havent yet then you have two choices:
    You can disconnect the Xbox One and 360 from the network, perform a full factory reset of the hub and then immediately disable UPNP before doing anything else, or..
    Disable UPNP and wait a good few hours (I'm talking overnight here) before reconnecting the XBox One and 360 and trying again.
    When UPNP is enabled and the XBoxes are using the network it will write rules on the fly to the NAT table, you probably won't be able to apply port forwarding rules to a device for those ports because the Hub can see that they're already in the NAT table.  They will eventually expire but this can take some time.  When you disable UPNP, these rules don't seem to be removed as you might expect.
    Next, you definitely don't need to forward ports 80 or 53, these are allowed by the hub automatically and traffic for each will be correctly forwarded to whatever device by the hub.  You shouldn't need to open 88 either.
    You have an XB One and a 360 and they both can't share the same port, that being 3074.  However, if the 360 is using 3074 you can forward 3076 to the XB One instead, or vice versa.
    When you've applied all of your port forwarding rules run the XBox network test repeatedly until it gives you an open NAT, a maximum of six times should do it, and you may want to do this every time you turn on an XBox.  I've previously posted about why I think you have to do this sometimes with the BT Home Hubs.
    If you're still not getting an Open Nat, turn off the XBox and unplug any powerline adapters on its chain for 5 minutes, then reconnect the adapters in sequence from the hub and try again.

  • Unable to Connect to Windows File Shares

    Steps I take to attempt to connect to a Windows File Share within the office. Being relatively new to the Mac, I am curious on why I am not able to connect to Windows File Shares.
    1. Command-K
    2. Server Address: smb://[server-hostname]/[sharename]
    3. Click Connect
    4. Connecting To Server..... (takes a short amount of time)
    5. SMB/CIFS File System Authentication
    - I then enter the domain, username and password
    6. Click OK
    7. Error: Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct.
    What gives? I have confirmed and validated server hostname, sharename, appropriate persmissions for windows account, etc. I have tried IP Address instead of hostname, same outcome.
    Any Ideas?

    Hi Arus, not really a Windows® expert, but I think I've seen were putting the Domain name in there fixed it, but I can't find the exact way to do it, this is the closest I could find...
    "If I try to connect to smb://domain, that's when I can authenticate. If I try smb://machine/share, I still get the error -43."

  • Unable to connect to windows server using VMware after AppleSoftwareUpdate

    Hallo,
    we are using a Mac OS X Server 10.5.7 server to host our new business application's database. However, all the old data was stored on an old Windows NT 4.0 server using an Oracle database. We still have to access the old data using our former business application for backward compatibility on a regular basis. Because we were unable to move the data over we decided to create a virtual machine. Everything was fine and the VMware Fusion trial worked great. So we decided to buy your software. At the same time we have installed a few Apple updates (AirPort-Utiliy 2009-002, iLife-Support 9.0.3, Safari 4.0 and QuickTime 7.62) on the server. When we tried to run the business application on our clients - Windows 98 (they're accessing a shared folder containing the EXE mounted as a network drive) the applications just crashed after entering the username and password: "application caused an invalid page fault in module ..."
    Is there any possibility of an incompatibility connected with the installed Apple updates ?

    I would post your issue in the Printing & Faxing forum area. More chance for some of the gurus like Greg Sahli to respond.

  • FF4580 unable to connect Wireless - Windows 8

    I have historically used the HP F4580 on XP and Windows 7 but not wirelessly.  I have a new PC running Windows 8 64 Bit and am trying to re install the F4580 but would prefer it to run wirelessly.
    I have downloaded the software and drivers from the HP website and the printer works fine using a USB connection.
    I am trying to convert from USB to wireless using the HP installation and it states my SSID is not available.Even when I type in the SSID it states it is not avaialable.  It then tells me the printer I have selected is not connected.
    I have added the printer using the mac address to my router as a trusted source.
    I have configured the wireless network direct from the device using the wizard and have an IP address for the printer.
    The scan print states that wireless is up and running and working ok but I cannot print to it wirelessly.  As soon as I remove the USB the printer is unavailable.
    I have tried removing the printer and rebooting and reinstalling.  I have disabled antivirus and firewalls but still am unable to print wirelessly.
    Does anyone have any other ideas or have I missed something really simple.
    Thanks

  • Unable to connect to Windows computers on local network

    We have several Windows XP computers on our local network. Some have shared folders, that we can upload/download files to/from. 
    Connecting to these Windows computers was no problem under Snow Leopard, but under Lion I cannot connect to any of them.
    The shared computers show up in the Finder. I can see them in the sidebar, under the "SHARED" items. But I cannot connect to them.
    If I select a computer to connect to, the Finder pops up the following error:
    There was a problem connecting to the server "name".
    The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
    Also, I get the following error message in the system.log
    Finder: SharePointBrowser::handleOpenCallBack returned 57

    Unfortunately it does not work for me.
    I can see the server in the Finder under the "Shared" list.
    If I click on the server, the Finder gives me the error message I mentioned above. If I click "Connect to server" button nothing happens, but I get the same error message in the system.log. If I select the "Connect to Server" option from the "Go" menu I get the same errors. So I still cannot connect.

  • Unable to connect after windows update

    window 7 updates and AVG updates occurred. Windows firewall is off and AVG firewall is not active. AVG was disable completely with not affect.

    Is your whole network down, or just Firefox? Are there any error messages?
    Contact your provider and have them test your service. Also, unplug your
    modem. Wait about 30 seconds before plugging it in.
    Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set to trust the
    previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your updated version as
    trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow Firefox to connect to the Internet
    again;
    * Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
    * Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see
    '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet?esab=a&s=Configure+firewalls+&r=0&as=s Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.]''' {web link}
