This is done by Microsoft, if your not using their software, you won't be able to connect. However, that should change soon when the developers know a way around it and or I think someone mentioned that the latest amsn is capable of connecting.

Browse the forums, your not the first to ask this.

Yes, whenever Microsoft updates the protocols it causes problems for third-party clients until they're able to reverse-engineer them and incorporate them into their own products.

The latest version of amsn (0.83) connects to msn using the new protocol without problems

you must have nss and nspr tar.gz, decompress and put them in /usr/local

them you decompress gaim 0.71, enter in this directory and write this command: ./configure --with-nss-includes=/usr/local/nss --with-nss-libs=/usr/local/nss --with-nspr-includes=//usr/local/nspr --with-nspr-libs=/usr/local/nspr

them the normal make and make install

note that you have permissions of root

the binary stays in usr/local/bin

enjoy
