Live Messenger reconnect poblem

[minolala]

How do I tell Windows Live Messenger to automatically reconnect? MSN
Messenger used to re-establish session upon disconnection from server. Tis
one doesn't. :(

Greetings,

It should. However, there is a timeout delay so it doesn't keep hammering the server (which
caused some server outages in the past). Open up the main Messenger window when you get
disconnected and you'll see the count down.

Thanks. The problem is that there is no count down. It behaves as if there
is no interet connection. All the checkboxes on General tab are checked.

Kind Regards
