Problem logging in on MSN with gmail account

Hey,

thx in advance,

Re: Problem logging in on MSN with gmail account

I think if you are using a Hotmail address you automatically get registered with a Passport account (which is necessary for using MSN Messenger), but if you use an email address which isn't from MS (such as Gmail) you have to register for a Passport account manually. I might be horribly wrong about that, but take a look here and see if it helps at all:

https://register.passport.net/reg.sr...lc%3D2057&sl=1

Or try www.passport.net and see if there is anything relavent in their help section.

Good luck.

Re: Problem logging in on MSN with gmail account

No problem

1. Go to www.passport.net

2. Click on the "Register for your free .NET passport today!" thing on the top right.

3. Fill in the form, using your Gmail address for the email address box. I think you need to use your Gmail password, too.

4. I think that about does it! You should now be able to sign into MSN Messenger using your Gmail account.
