Double clicking on an offline MSN contact brought up the chat window showing the proper contact name. When I typed in some text and hit send, a second chat tab appeared for the MSN Transport with the following error message:
MSN Transport: MSN error: ErrorCode 217 , User not on-line outgoing : CAL 2 markpetrie@comcast.net incoming : 217 2
A few minutes later, I received another error message in the same MSN Transport window:
MSN Transport: Unknown error from MSN: java.io.IOException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
