Msn Messenger Hosts File Error
that while i am able to work fine from home… at work i keep on getting error 8100030f while trying to sign in. The solution to the problem is to edit the ”hosts” file which is located at : c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc Just add to the file the following line at the end of the file: 65.54.239.80 messenger.hotmail.com And yep… you can finally sign-in again :-) 23 Comments Hey You have been really helpfull.
