I was wondering, I have my own .co.uk domain and my own [email protected] email. But I wanna be able to use it in MSN messenger but everytime I try it says stuff like this isn't a Live address or something.
I apprieciete if anyone could help and will rep+ the help.
Thanks.
Thanks but I am confused what to do with the SRV and don't know where to put it on my domains account management. I am with UK2
On the client bit there should be a bit called "SRV Records" or it'll be under "All host records" or something like that, and you need to insert the info in there.
I can't seem to find it, have you ever use UK2.net before?
Nope, i use namecheap. Print screen the panel so i can try and help? :P
Click here. I think this is what you want.
I've tried that, that isn't it and doesn't link back to my domain.
All my account management gives me is
Quote:
Domain name *********.co.uk Owner******** NIC database NominetUK2NET is
listed host
YES, domain under your control
Current Name Servers
Primary ultra101.uk2.net

Change the UK2 DNS records to UK2 defaults (do this if your website and email aren't working)

Bean; using that you can only use a single email address :P So if you gave them to loads of people you'd have to sign up with that every email address :P
If you want to star out your domain name i suggest you remove the link as its a whois of your site, Sam :P
I only want 1 email address for me, noone else.
But when I use Beans link I can't verify it.
Does your site have mail? like cPanel comes with the webmail, you'd just need to log on the account (i.e. if you sign up to msn with [email protected] i'd have to log on that and verify the email)
yeah, i can logon to webmail and create @mydomain.co.uk stuff. But I didnt see a verifcation email from msn.
Any NS need to be set?
checked spam and stuff?

Yet, my inbox and spam are empty, well inbox has welcome message to the webmail.Quote:
Verification e-mail has been sent to sam@*******.co.uk
If you don't see the e-mail message in your inbox, look for it in your junk mail folder or check your e-mail again later. Get help with this
I must be doing something wrong?
edit: i sent a email to my domain one from yahoo and got it, just not the msn..
Hmm, try to find out how to edit the SRV, much easier, contact instant support or something :P
Well, I got the verification email and its now verified. But I cant change my name now... and when I log on messenger it says im still not verifed but I get this when I try verify now.

Verification not needed
Your e-mail address has either already been verified or it doesn't require verification
Oh yes!Quote:

I think it's from their side, but I'm not too sure.
I had that for the first few days then its been fine since i can change email now, after you verified did you re-sign in?
Yep, tried a lot of times.
Contact help/support for domain to find out how to change SRV records. :P
Yeh, I've submitted a ticket.
Thanks all got a reply to my ticket.

I use passport.net , register with using the email you made on the hosting then uget a email through, accept then wham you can sign into msn with it.
You cant change your display name tho.
Try logging in on web messenger or another computer and see if you can change your screen name there.
I tried and I can there, but when I log back on MSN Messenger it goes back to [email protected]
EDIT: OMG THANK YOU IT WORKED!
