Can someone please explain this error and how to fix it.
i dont know jack shit about proxy and stuff.

Did you try disabling you proxy settings?

Are you on a LAN or using dial-up? If you're on a LAN:

In Interet Explorer:

Tools > Internet Options

Connections tab, LAN Settings, check the Automatically Detect Settings and uncheck the Use Proxy bullshit. Try that.

Symptom: it fucks up
Problem: you are using microsoft products
Solution: dump windowz and use a real system.

Seph.... i am using dial up AOL.

this has never happened before in all my years of using MSN And AOL.

 

[Cat5Messiah]

What operating system are you using? Also, are you using a external MIE or the default AOL browser? Also, what version of AOL are you using?

@Delt........What OS you mainly use? I take it Linux, but what exactly?

I never got to see the message, but it sounds like my own problem on sunday. Nothing worked because of my "proxy settings" and I might "be behind a firewall not allowing this".
I could use neither explorer nor messenger.

Solution:
Swear, curse and slam computer for 2 hours.
Turn it off in anger, go to sleep.
Wake up next day, turn it on.
Everything works perfectly....

Well.... i found the answe to my problem...

it is not ME who is at fault, but rather the stupid irish cunts (no offence to the irish tha are here) that work at AOL UK.

AOL users experiencing problems

Wolkje says:
Are you an AOL user? Can't sign in your MSN? Well apparently AOL has some internal problems, so that's why you can't sign in. They said they're working on the problem, and that you should try again later.

Update!
Well it seems that all AOL hell broke loose now.. AOL managed to ban (?) proxy ports too! So now AOL users can't connect to proxies anymore.. Basically, every AOL user, now has to wait for AOL to repair the problem, and in the meantime, will not have access to any of the Microsoft services.

Aol's a piece of shit
Msn's a piece of shit
Windows is a piece of shit
capitalism and their fucking megarichandpowerful corporations are a piece of shit

You want a solution to the problem? Organize a legion of followers and start a revolution, I'll help you if you do. We'll overthrow the present establishment. Otherwise, I assure you it will ultimately be the demise of us all.

What! fuck you, I'm not drunk

 

[Cat5Messiah]

Ahhh yes. I remember AOL 2.5. I had so much fun.......so many exploitable material.......so many backdoors......lack of security.....

FUCK AOL!!!

 

[EagleFlyFree]

in fact, icq itself has been turning into more of a bloated pile of crap with every new release ever since aol bought that company... stupid ass strategy to displace the userbase to aol >:-(

 

[Cat5Messiah]

ICQ has too many exploits.
