    I can't get the MSN connection working on gaim (nor the Yahoo connection). Can somebody post their configuration settings for both so I can be sure that I have the right stuff?

    Thanks.

    That doesn't work for me either, It attempts to launch and then stops. Is
    there anywhere where this info would be stored to tell me why it's crashing?
