Adium Only Shows Me As 'Offline'

Hi everyone,

I'm using Adium for my IM needs but it only shows me as offline to all of my MSN Messenger contacts.

I've reinstalled Adium a few times and readded my account but nobody can see me!

Is there a setting I'm missing?

Thanks.

Adium version 1.2
OSX 10.5
iMac

Is your FireWall blocking the ports need to use that program?

Try going to the Account Settings and changing the proxy for your MSN account to use system wide HTTP. This will make Adium use port 80 which will definately work.

nixgeek will become famous soon enough
Also be aware that you have to use your Hotmail/MSN/Windows Live e-mail account as your username.
