Ubuntu + Internet + aMSN problems

[Mrk_Mickey]

Is anyone good with internet/server problems (ie, the lack of communication from my internet to my MSN, a program called aMSN) on Linux Ubuntu 9.04 that would be able to help me out? I'm not able to log in, as it keeps timing out and doing nothing.

I'll be on flashchat if it makes it easier, too. Thanks.

G'day,

Has it ever worked under Ubuntu?
If so, when was the last time it was working?

Also do you know which version you're using?
You can check via Synaptic. Should be 0.97.2?

A few things to try:
- Run any updates that might be pending. (System - Administration - Update Manager) reboot when finished and try again.
- Install the latest version of amsn

- Run amsn from the terminal and see what if it pops up any error messages.

Its possible that a firewall may be blocking it as well? Whether it be iptables or your router/modem?
