I finally solved my sign in problem on my fileserver, after reading the Microsoft newsgroups onine. For some reason I couldn't sign in anymore with my main account (or a second one, but another one worked fine), and I believe this is what fixed it.

Run regedit and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\MSNMessenger\\Policies

Then delete the key "contacts.msn.com"

According to Jonathan Kay (I've read posts from him before last time MSN had trouble), it's a misconfigured policy that Microsoft put into place accidently. Deleting the key is just removing this policy (and you won't lose anything - unless you somehow make a mistake while editing the registry).
