I have gateway.messenger.hotmail.com That's what I have too. It looks like yours is not using http method. From my debug without http method Mine connects using HTTP, but then has random network error messages. This appears to be MSN connection errors exacerbated by a (not very) transparent proxy. This could be a regional thing as both of those addresses are listening on port 1863 (test by telnet 65.54.239.20 1863) With this being said - does your network block outgoing to 65.54.239.20 on port 1863? It appears that way. I've verified from several other points and ISPs around the UK, with things being fine - except from AOL UK/Talk Talk. I'm trying to get to the bottom of why the ISP is intercepting and diverting the MSN port to a bogus connection refused, so far there's a blanket denial they are filtering/blocking anything and a claim We don't support peer-to-peer networks and request our customers not use them. There's something very odd going on there and I don't like the feel of it. If so, try and use the http method and lets look at the debug log. I'm trying to get a time when it's consistently getting problems long enough for me to shut down all other connections and log the errors.

Stefan, please check your MSN profile's advanced setings and see if you're using http method The http method works for connections, but tends to be unreliable during messaging sessions.

(I am also running 2.5.1 though). I am not sure what you mean by it tends to be unreliable? If you're behind an ISP who proxy everything then using the http mode results in periods fo 5-10 minutes at a time where attempting to send anything results in a connection error. Perhaps you would like to try 2.5.1 from my PPA and see if the error still persists? I'll give it a try.

I can connect using http, but not with a direct connection. Is there any chance you can compile a test TLS version? Other reports have indicated that compiling from source with enable-tls=yes solves the problem. I haven't had a chance to grab sources and try yet.
