    Can anyone shed some light on an issue I have with Gaim on windows connecting to MSN.  I can not connect to MSN either by regular protocol or even using the HTTP method.  I however can connect to MSN using trillian.  I would rather use gaim, but because it won't connect I am stuck using trillian for msn.  Here is the error I am getting.

    Connection error from Notification server: Reading error

    Here is the debug log:

    gtkappbar: wnd_poschanging

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, or even a patch to fix this.  This has been occuring for a while now even with the new Beta 6, but basically has been happening since beta 2.x came out.  Is it the version of MSN gaim is based on compared to what trillian is based on?

    Thanks

      I am having the exact same problem.  I used to have Gaim 2.0 Beta5, and it did not have any problems.
      By the way, I am also having connection problems with Yahoo.
