Trillian and MSN


As MSN chat is closing down slowly, the original server "gateway.messenger.hotmail.com" is no longer available and as such messagers like Trillian will fail to connect to the MSN chat network.

A simple solution is luckily available for now, simply change your MSN server address to :
bn1msgr1011204.gateway.edge.messenger.live.com

And it will work. For now. 

Solution is also highlighted on the official Trillian forum:

  2. No more new hosts to fix this. This is the end for Trillian for MSN support.
