When the dominoes fall, they bonk ya on the head hard...
I encountered the same problem, so I decided to see what my WinsockTool
could tell me.
It told me "You're a dumbass".
Not exactly what I wanted to hear, but true, nonetheless.
When you're operating wireless and the normally-wired connection is still
enabled, though disconnected, it's seen by WMI as an active interface.
Whether or not that's a valid determination is irrelevant, since WinsockTool
reports that you're trying to use a broadcast address (the dumbass part).
I fixed it and re-propped the new version (1.0.0.4) to
http://isatools.org/winsocktool.msi

..interestingly enough, the MSN Messenger status page:
http://messenger.microsoft.com/support/status.asp
reports "all ok", even though I can't log in either.

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed a lack of a "tell us we're broken"
link on that page?
