31 technical responses curated from 50 original dispatches

Field Note #1 @R0GUE 2008-04-18

I honestly can't say why it's not logging in for you, but why not try out Adium X (adi umx.com) and see if the problem persists.

Field Note #2 @ToroLoco 2008-04-18

I think that msn messenger doen't work with Hackindos, I have tried it also and it didn't worked. You can try aMSN which is quite simillar to MSN.

Field Note #3 @bhast2 2008-04-18

i ran zeph 10.5.2 ver2 for awhile and i could never log in to msn
i always got the same error as you do
and there is no way to fix it there is something with your hardware that is stopping it from signing on
when i tryied leo4all and kalway i could sign on to msn
I could never figure out the problem

and there are no cpuid in msn or office for that fact

Field Note #4 @minibuu 2008-04-18

I used Zeph release(s) of mac os x and never had a problem logging in to msn with Aduim, never used MSN for Osx but aduim worked flawless with everything I used. Yahoo, Aim, MSN.

O another note, if you have a router with firewall you may have to edit it. Aduim keep crashing when I would use aduim and found I needed to add ports to my firewall and then no problem after that

Field Note #5 @dagger 2008-04-20

I'm using Zephyroth's AMD Rev.2 and Adium right now with an MSN account and I can log in fine so far. I didn't see any CPUIDs that needed to be patched that relates to Adium.

Field Note #6 @Puttabong 2008-04-20

dagger, the error which is discussed in this thread is only related to Microsoft's Messenger for Mac.

Field Note #7 @generalmilk 2008-04-20

yes, i have exactly the same problem with msn, i'm almost sure it is a problem within Zephyroth's AMD Rev.2 because it works fine on my intel hackintosh, anyone using Zephyroth's AMD can try this for us? If it is only a msn problem that's fine, but i am worrying maybe there are some network related flaw or something in this Rev.

Field Note #8 @zephyroth 2008-04-20

I don't know anything about this problem. I've just tried and it works.
Why don't you use another software ?

Field Note #9 @bhast2 2008-04-21

msn messenger works in leo4all and in kalways
but for some reason it will not work in zephyroth version

Field Note #10 @Puttabong 2008-04-21

elicip, just curious, what makes you want to use Microsoft's Messenger? AdiumX is much better, if you ask me.

Field Note #13 @bhast2 2008-04-22

if you can't log on to msn with AdiumX

just do this
Set your own DNS-Servers, under Network "Advanced..." --> DNS e.g.

4.2.2.2 & 141.1.1.1
Normally only your Router will be listet.

then:

sudo dscacheutil -flushcache
After this, start Adium and enjoy
Field Note #14 @^fire^ 2008-04-22

ill checked it and you guys are right…

i installed the new kalyway 10.5.2 on a seperatly HD and i was able to login into (microsuck) MSN Messenger
in zephyroth's 10.5.2 rev2 i had the same errors like yall

but no need for me to change from zephyroth's to kaly because i prefer adiumX

grtx fire

Field Note #15 @WinLinMac01 2008-04-23

I can log in without problems MSN messenger in Mac OS X, however, I can't successfully send/receive files, only in iChat I can do that.

Field Note #16 @^fire^ 2008-04-23

i have the same (onboard) card like you
RTL8111B/C PCIE Onboard
and i use the standard forcedeth kext (that is bundled with kalyway and zephyroth's release)

Field Note #17 @generalmilk 2008-04-25

I once used onboard nforce network card with forcedeth.kext, then I changed to a rtl8139c for stability, also deleted forcedeth.kext. In both situation I can't log to MSN, it tells me wrong account/password anyway. Actually I dont use MSN, but that is an issue.

Field Note #18 @pαuℓzurrr. 2008-04-30

Still no solution for this problem?
I wanted to try MSN 7 for mac but since i can't login with it

Field Note #19 @R0GUE 2008-04-30

MSN Messenger 7 works perfectly on my set up - Zeph 10.5.2 rev 1.

Field Note #20 @pαuℓzurrr. 2008-04-30

Yea well it didnt work for me on rev 2, so i installed leo4allv3 and everthing is working now

Field Note #21 @bhast2 2008-04-30

msn messenger 7 for mac is really no different than 6.0.3 still don't have video or call

Field Note #22 @WinLinMac01 2008-04-30

Its true, its not really that much of a change for me, however, I still updated it. =))

Field Note #23 @WinLinMac01 2008-04-30

okay, I updated to v7 because I like staying up to date and now I can't sign in because of digital certificate and date/time settings, what gives? Can someone please explain, thanks.

Field Note #24 @WinLinMac01 2008-04-30

Wait-a-sec, on my system it says something about a digital certificate or date/time settings. I did a little research and someone things that it could be time difference between main system and server receiving request. I would appreciate the help now. thanks.

Field Note #25 @WinLinMac01 2008-04-30

Realtek, why?

[cite] elicip:WinlinMac01,what is ur network card?
Field Note #26 @bhast2 2008-05-03

this needs to be fixed in the next release because msn works fine in others
but not in zeph
could you look into this zephyroth

Field Note #27 @WinLinMac01 2008-05-03

Because the next release is nearing as Apple prepares the next major Leopard update, 10.5.3.

[cite] elicip:[cite] bhast2:this needs to be fixed in the next release because msn works fine in others but not in zeph could you look into this zephyroth

in the next release?why not in this release?

Field Note #28 @generalmilk 2008-05-06

So it is clear that the problem is only in Rev2, even Rev1 is ok. So only Zeph can help us with this. What change do you have from rev1 to rev2. Maybe just the similar one with "wrong alias corrupt smb connecting"?

Come on Zeph, you are our only hope.

ps: msn 7 still dont work, same problem: wrong account or password

Field Note #29 @zephyroth 2008-05-07

I have no time to check why MSN don't work with Rev2. There are a lot of others IM apps, use them by waiting for my next release or use Leo4All (even if a reinstallation of the whole system just for one app is ... weird.)

Field Note #30 @bhast2 2008-05-07

I agree with you totally that is why i said we need to wait for you next release
