    Hi,

    I'm running Gaim 1.5.0-12.el4 on Centos Linux 4.4. Up until yesterday my MSN connection was working fine but now it can't connect citing handshake failure. I did my daily up2date on the same day but that only updated Seamonkey and Firefox on the day in question where things suddenly stopped.

    I'm wondering if this is a problem only I'm having or whether I'm not alone? Maybe if others are having the same problem Microsoft have once again gone ahead and changed their protocol/policy on 3rd party clients.

    Running Gaim with -d for debug yields the following messages when trying to connect to MSN:

    account: Connecting to account 0x95b0280. gc = 0x982f1d8
    connection: Connecting. gc = 0x982f1d8

      I had the same issue the last couple of days until I installed via yum updates available for seamonkey nspr and nss (both i386 and x86_64 since I run a 64 bit OS).
      Once installed I can connect to MSN as normal, hope this helps...

      I downloaded, compiled and installed the sources for GAIM version 2.0 and that seemed to solve the problem ;-)
