Are you from South Africa. I see JohnSD with the same problem is. I'm on Telkom ADSL and have very similar problem. GE worked fine the last three weeks. Now GE won't log in. MSN Messanger Voice chat won't work either. Cannot connect. Wondering if these two programs might be blocked somehow? Everything else on my computer works fine and internet works fine, all other fuctionality on MSN Messanger works.
