Bigman Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Hey guys, I am currently "borrowing" some wireless internet that i happened to find and for some strange reason i can not get MSN messenger or Internet explorer to work, the latter does not bother me as Firefox is working.....Does anybody know what may be stopping these from working?ThanksAdam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smo™ Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 There could be some ports blocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Dale Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 if you need to do port forwarding aslong as it is your router that you are trying to open ports for then in a IE or firefox browser type this address 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1 it will then ask for a user name and password...or if it dont have one it wont obviously...if it is the standerd password and username it should be in the routers guide...I'm not 1005 sure what you ment with "borrowing" but yeh until you say what you mean can't really say much more as i dont know what router your using...tis site shows all the ports for a hell of alot of programes....http://portforward.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 You could try changing the IP address. I'm not sure what it'll do, but it's worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
