Didn't work for me. Tried two email addresses, one works, one doesn't. On two different computers with MSN 7 and MSN 8 the exact same behavior. Deleting the cache didn't work either.
The email address that doesn't work was locked. Unlocked it, logging in to the passport site works OK now but messenger won't accept anymore. A whole day has passed so you would expect the unlocking of the account would be noticed by now.
Didn't work for me either.. I've got an hotmail account but it just doesn't stup with giving 81000314 errors. I just can not sign in anymore :( It just keeps going on for days and days.. I'd tried everything already! NOTHING Works! And everybody can sign in except me. My sister can sign in at the same pc. I tried MSN Messenger 7.5, but still getting the same eror's. I really tried all the things on a lot of forums but nothing works.. Please help me
doing this doens't change ANYTHING. When the computer tries to connect to a server,it looks in that file first.
if he doesn't find the ip,he will contact your local dns server (or isp dns server). If that one doesn't know the ip,it will ask several other dns servers,untill finally reaching the root servers.
some of you might be lucky,shaving off a few seconds of connection time using this method,which seems to be enough in order not to time out while signing in.
But what you are basicly doing is staticly assigning an ip to the servername.
IF the server ever changes,or is down,you will not be able to use any other of the server pool, meaning you are bound to have problems sooner or later when using this method.
it's just a time out, chill out,talk to some real people,and try again in an hour
mine wont work either, it was like this about 2 hours ago then i just made my account the "sign in automatically" and tried a million times then randomly it signed me in. i left for a bit and came back to it not working again. popup reads "Service temporarily unavailalbe try later" and code is 81000314 , and when i click help on the popup the site wont work at all, it cannot be displayed. i tryed the notepad thing but no changes applied. good luck people, i know how addicting msn is and how inconvient it is not being connected!
My msn just got the message, before it was working fine, but it logs me out every now and then, but my internet connection is stable. So I got irritated and reinstalled the whole msn. And, now what I got is Error 81000314, and the notepad method is not working too. I'm not's using hotmail account.
right this is just so annoying ! like sum ppl sed it keeps switchin frm 314 to 306..!!! been tryin to log in for like an houur !! live messenger dusnt wrk n neither dus the normal one. anyone got an other ideas apart frm the notepad fing cos that dusnt work at all!
FUKiiN MSN !! :@ ..iiVE TRii3D THAT NOT3PADD FiiNG LYK3 100 TYM3Z NOW ..iiT K33PS SWiiTCHiiNG && COMiiN UP WiiD LOADSA DiiFR3NT 3RRORS ;; USUAllY W3N ii G3T D3S3 3RRORS ii JUS R3START Mii COMP && TH3N iiT WORKS AGAiiN
But anyway.. After editing the host.msn i opened WLM and it just worked. "Bling".
Then another problem occured: I've got no online contactpersons on a friday evening. Maybe a coincidence - or maybe they're all stuck with the same problems as you guys.. But keep tryin'!
It looks like the msn logon server is offline, however the status page suggests otherwise, just an idea but could certian isp's be having the problem, with the ports for instance. Are we all in the same country?
uk? yeah, if you go click on "service status" at the bottom of the msn page it says everything should be working fine, obviously not since there is no many people on here right now, guess we'll just have to wait
Ok for anyone thats saying this isnt a fix for it, this was posted a few months ago, when it was a different problem same error code. The MSN servers do seem to be having a difficulty seeing as most of europe and the usa are affected and also australia! For me the editing of the hosts file worked. Also persistant singing in attempts has started to let people back in now, so be patient and just keep singing in and you will be online too!
This is a load of s**t! doesnt work at all! :@:@ msn never does this usually but for some reason to night its doing this i am so annoyed i have a good mind to unistall msn and never use it again!
i m facing the error code:81000306 what can i do to fix this problem? cant log in and get in touch with my family since yesterday! Please help me out of this msn problem.
hi just incase no1 has tryed this make sure ur date and time r correct as i reset the cmos and that was 1 of the main reasons it wouldnt sign in, hope this helps
Ok people I pretty much TRIED everything even the suggestions people are saying here, ok go to your router settings entering the IP address. Enter username admin Password whatever your password is go to WAN SETUP> from there change MTU Size from 1500 to 1400 somehow worked for me :)
Can someone help me pleaseeeee?! Msn is driving me CRAZY! ARGHHHH! It throws me out like...every 5 seconds...and it won't let me talk to anyone! But other times, (like, only once a week!) it works fine! Please help I'm going insaneeee!!!!! Thanks. =) X
Also...in options, on the connection tab there is a triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle surrounded by a red circle. Between the picture of the computer and box..thing? :S What does that mean???!!!! X
ok i went to save and it saves it as a text not in the actual hosts file and when i do it says it's set to a read only file and wont let save what do i do??
Well, someone is doing their job at Microsoft...the problem is fixed and didn't require a restart. Could it be that perhaps Microsoft is turning over a new leaf...being responsive...OMG...hope they show us more.
Oh joy. Now its happened to me. For no reason at all. Tried everything suggested here. Service Status is fine so it cant be that. Anyone getting same issue???
GREAT INFO! One problem...latest version requires to not only modify hosts file, but also the "hosts.msn" file. Please keep that in mind!!! (Maybe edit the post?)
Thanks for the info anyways! I'm back online on WLM!!
OMG!! I had tried EVERYTHING mentioned in this blog at least twice but nothing worked. TRY THIS: Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System restore Then simply create a system restore point (type anything). After ages spent trying to fix WLM, this is the only thing that has worked for me... Good luck!
I don't know how to open the "notepad" , i don't know what it is .. could someone help me ? I tried thousands but I don't know what to do with that f***ing 8100314 ... =(
I CANT SIGN IN WITH ANY OF MY EMAILS OR MY FRIENDS EMAIL ON MY PC...i tried to sign in from my college computer...but still i cant !!! i tried to find the solutions on net....but nothing is working..please somebody help me ..itz been 2 days!!
the host file is read-only, that's why u can't save it.
1. backup your file 2. right click->properties->uncheck read-only attribute 4. add the lines 5. save the file 6. right click->properties->check read-only attribute

Erwin,
Are you using hotmail account?
Let me know.
Didn't work for me either.. I've got an hotmail account but it just doesn't stup with giving 81000314 errors. I just can not sign in anymore :( It just keeps going on for days and days.. I'd tried everything already! NOTHING Works! And everybody can sign in except me. My sister can sign in at the same pc. I tried MSN Messenger 7.5, but still getting the same eror's.

how u open with notepad??
thanks so much ... working perfectly now.
btw ... if u try and open it in notepad u may not see the file.
For this go to RUN in the start menu and copy the destination path:
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts
Do the necessary editing and it should work fine
That's not work. I have signed in MSN a great number of times but failed every time displaying an almost random error.
FUCK MSN!!
doesnt work
Yay it worked for me... so s'all good... good luck with you other people...
it didnt work with me either.I'll try something else
Mine keeps swaping from 81000314 to 81000306 FUKIN LOADS even after i do what they say. probably just down time, BUT STILL FRIKIN ANNOYIN
SAME HERE switches to "306" to "314"
Same here , I think msn servers are down ...
i just want to comment on this 'urban legend'.
doing this doens't change ANYTHING.

Thank you very much. This worked for me.
Works fine for me.. thanks.
yeahh,
considering how many people put comments today.
ill guess its down.
but fuck.. grr
UPDATE=
ok,i still don't believe in this theory,but it seems to work for some people, for some reasons.
FOR THOSE FOR WHICH IT DOESN'T WORK try the following servers =
207.46.26.65
207.46.104.25
65.54.228.27
207.46.104.23
I tried to ping them and all,but no response from here (west europe).
maybe others will be more successful.
good luck

WHY ISN'T THIS WORKING.
mine wont work either, it was like this about 2 hours ago then i just made my account the "sign in automatically" and tried a million times then randomly it signed me in. i left for a bit and came back to it not working again. popup reads "Service temporarily unavailalbe try later" and code is 81000314 , and when i click help on the popup the site wont work at all, it cannot be displayed. i tryed the notepad thing but no changes applied. good luck people, i know how addicting msn is and how inconvient it is not being connected!

Not just me then.
I tried that too. Won't work. It just gave me another error msg. Is WLM down?
Izzzz msn noot wrkin kuzz it keepz comin up da error n da fingy dnt wrrk loool ?
my guess is the server is down cos i have a stable connection, i havent changed or installed anything recently and everything else works.
I bet itll work for everyone within the next few hours.
right this is just so annoying ! like sum ppl sed it keeps switchin frm 314 to 306..!!! been tryin to log in for like an houur !! live messenger dusnt wrk n neither dus the normal one. anyone got an other ideas apart frm the notepad fing cos that dusnt work at all!

This is so frustrating, it stopped working at the worst time possible.
I really need to get some work sent to me...
=(
Mine was switching from 314 to 306... this is what fixed it. It worked for me, maybe someone has freezed your account.

It looks like the msn logon server is offline, however the status page suggests otherwise, just an idea but could certian isp's be having the problem, with the ports for instance.
Are we all in the same country?
i'm trying to log on and it won't connect! why? it does this often!
im frm uk... cold country wish i were bck in africa!!!!!
uk? yeah, if you go click on "service status" at the bottom of the msn page it says everything should be working fine, obviously not since there is no many people on here right now, guess we'll just have to wait
uk

Ok for anyone thats saying this isnt a fix for it, this was posted a few months ago, when it was a different problem same error code. The MSN servers do seem to be having a difficulty seeing as most of europe and the usa are affected and also australia! For me the editing of the hosts file worked. Also persistant singing in attempts has started to let people back in now, so be patient and just keep singing in and you will be online too!
Worked for me finally
Come on Guys of Microsoft. Go to you fucking work and fixes this. sleeping time is over...
The problem is: everyone go now on the same time to sign in on this fucking servers,, so its takes a lot of time...
MINES WORKIN NOW LOOL WOOOO
my msn has been working all day
good for u. get the hell outta this forum then.
It didnt work till i left it...went do some homework then i tried again and it just worked a minute ago...
i added the code...then tried...it didnt work...then i removed the code ...n left it n came back...
Yes B) I'm in, and no one's on xD
First open a run window by clicking start, then run. Now, type the following command and press enter:
regsvr32 softpub.dll Wintrust.dll Initpki.dll Rsaenh.dll Mssip32.dll Cryptdlg.dll
If you use Windows XP you should open another run window after running the previous commands then type the following command:
regsvr32 Dssenh.dll Gpkcsp.dll Slbcsp.dll Sccbase.dll
THIS will FIX the problem! :)

Then simply create a system restore point (type anything).
After ages spent trying to fix WLM, this is the only thing that has worked for me...
Good luck!

Im sorry, but this thing didn't work @ all.
aah.. it WORKED..
ok, sometimes it still gives the same msg but at least after 2/3 tries I manage to log myself in.. Otherwise NOTHING!!
WTF is happening to msn in the past 2 days.. The problem is obviously global and microsoft people should get right on it!
the host file is read-only, that's why u can't save it.
1. backup your file
2. right click->properties->uncheck read-only attribute
4. add the lines
5. save the file
6. right click->properties->check read-only attribute
Thank you.
PLEASE CONSIDER OF RESTORING YOUR SYSTEM, at System Restore, find a proper set date, it works perfectly,..
Its a scam, hes pretty much just getting your password
