My MSN isnt working!! please help!! Dec 28, 2006
Well, i dunno if it some sort of problem going on in Etisalat...but my MSN wont sign in saying that im not connected to the internet which i am :?

when i troubleshoot, it finds error in the "key ports" area. Hmmm... im not familiar with this port thingy but could this be the problem?? and even i cant log into hotmail for some strange reason :?

another note: when i play battlefield 2 online, the servers i play on now show 999 PING :? (again)...something is with my net i guess

BTW. i have found no virus, spyware on my comp

i have a wireless seimens speedstream modem.

can anyone please help me??

thanks

EDIT: now ive heard (on this site) or rather seen that the problem is occuring because of the earthquake in taiwan...not sure though but then...how come some people arent affected and some are??

is everyones internet/email working as usual again?

I can browse the internet fine (and post here) but cannot access my email through outlook or log onto my companies home website.

There isnt a problem with our server in Australia as they are not having problems - but i can seem to access it or my email.

Any thoughts what it could be?

well etisalat are still having a problem, the websites are ok because etisalat are using the cache engines, that helps

but for gaming or trying to log onto an office remotely, you will still have problems

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO FIX FIBER CABLES IN TAIWAN??? rumor has it that there is a fiber cut in dubai itself thats why its so slow

well i am back online and my emails are coming through - has taken since about 1pm for about 100 odd emails to come in - there are 500 more to go and it is reaaaaaaallly slow. Usually i will get the same amount of emails through within my first hour of work - depending on how many attachments etc.

Hello everyone,

I'm having no problems with MSn at all. But my online gaming is SLOWWW. I can't even connect to the online servers. Its gone from bad to worse
Till yesterday I could connect to the servers, even though it lagged unforgivingly. But since yesterday, I'm not even able to connect tot he servers to play online. God damn Etisalat.

Anyone else having problems with online gaming??

Thanks

Pretty asurd of Etisalat to cause all these problems espeically when a new telecom company is entering the market.

They said the slow downs were because of those broken links from the Taiwan Earthquake. Thought I'll go on the net and search for the latest updates on those cables but amazingly couldn't find even one article. I wanted to know if their still getting repaired because online gaming for me is still a bit slow. And browsing acts up in the afternoon too.
