Greetings Bruce,

I haven't had any troubles today.  If you're seeing Key Ports has the issue in
the 
troubleshooter, this means that Messenger hasn't been able to connect on port 80
or 1863 and 
443 (all TCP) to connect to the service.

This can be caused by connectivity issues at your internet service provider, a
software 
firewall blocking outgoing connections, a proxy server (if you're in a situation
that needs 
one), etc.

However, since you mention you're also having issues with Hotmail, it sounds
more like a 
internet connectivity problem, especially if it just started today.
