The Solutions to MSN Error 80048821

1) Refer to your registration documentation.  Do you have a confirmation email with your username, which will be an email address?

2) Have you just changed or fiddled with your firewall?  Could that be blocking your MSN connection?

4) I never like this solution, but sometimes it does the trick: Delete internet temporary files and cookies.  Internet Explorer: Tools (menu), Internet Options.

5) The other alternative is that the password is wrong.  However, I do believe that would cause a different error number  Could the CAPS LOCK be on?

Guy Recommends: The Free IP Address Tracker (IPAT) Free IP Tracker

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:
