But looking around some claim it's your firewall settings.
It's not a firewall that's blocking MSN

It's not a firewall that's blocking MSN. I have cheacked. Do you have any other ideas?
Yes, but you call that place in Redmond to talk about that.

Sorry, the only repeatable way to get that error is with the firewall or the router settings.
Just in case -> Look into Client Isolation or Access Point Isolation. It's interesting since that and the owner I fixed this for jumped up and down "it's not the firewall" so I uninstalled the firewall and the error vanished. Why would that fix it?

It's only my e-mail address

It's only my e-mail address that doesn't work. The other e-mail addresses work for some reason.
