I keep getting MSN Messenger messages that say I am signed on a another location. What does that mean?
Most likely it means what it says. The common scenario is if you use MSN Messenger on more than one machine, like I do. If the machine you're not using is rebooted then it will sign on again causing you to get that message. Also, network problems can cause MSN Messenger to login again as well. However if you're concerned that someone else is using your account or machine; just change your password and see if the problem goes away.

The problem just happened to me and after searching the solution for a while, i tried to change the connection preference to 'No proxy' (initilly Firewall with no proxy) and it works well. Happy trying guys!
Posted by: sufian at May 16, 2006 3:08 AMLeo, you answer makes no sense whatsoever. The message began the moment I signed up for MSN Messenge, directly after it was installed. Tell me how someone could have been signing on as me at the same moment messenger completed. I was sitting at my computer completing the installation process, and not at another computer. If this is the best answer that you could find, you should stop giving answers.

Posted by: Sera at January 3, 2008 1:48 PMI used to get alerts that says my husband signed in (became online) even if he wasn't but when I would check my contacts I never seen him online. He changed his password but now I keep getting msn alerts saying that my husband has signed in on a mobile device. We work in the same office and he didn't even set up mobile device on msn. What does this mean? Is it possible that somebody is using his msn? There isn't any other thing that indicates that.
1. can i sign in deliberatly with same id at two different locations????. does any msn messenger supports this???

No. The MSN Messenger service does not support this.
