Windows Live Code 800CCC0E IXP_E_FAILED_TO_CONNECT
You get an error message 800CCC0E when you launch MSN Messenger and cannot
connect to server. Key question: is it your workstation's fault, your
ISP or Microsoft's website?
The Cause of Code 800CCC0E
The
Windows Live server
is not unavailable. If it is Microsoft's problem, do be careful not to make matters worse, for example don't try
fixing something that does not need mending, and as a result
breaking a perfectly good system.
If the server is running, a possibility is that Softpub.dll
may have become unregistered.
‡
Troubleshooting With Telnet:
The idea is to narrow down the problem area. Is it your fault?
Your ISP's fault, or is the actual Microsoft site down?
Research the name of your ISP's smtp mail server.
Substitute your SMTP server for smtpmailserver.domain*
telnet smtpmailserver.domain*.com 25
For example: telnet smtp-smtp.guydom.com 25.

Calculating IP Address ranges is a black art, which many network managers
solve by creating custom Excel spreadsheets. IPAT cracks this problem of
allocating IP addresses in networks in two ways:
For Mr Organized there is a nifty subnet calculator, you enter the network
address and the subnet mask, then IPAT works out the usable addresses and their
ranges. For Mr Lazy IPAT discovers and then displays the IP addresses of existing
computers.
Collect information: Write down exactly what the problem is.
Something magical happens just by the act of writing down the symptoms.
Ask: What was the last thing that altered on your computer.
Especially with changes to anti-virus software Reverse it!
Can you reproduce the problem: Occasionally trying again seems to
make it work. Else you may get a different error from 800CCC0E.
Locate the source: Hardware (modem) Software, your end or MSN site.
Phone a friend! Seriously do your MSN buddies have the same
problem, if so it's the site, if not - back to the drawing board.
