JONATHAN i am getting on my knees
and begging for you to just at least let me know that you
saw this message. please! i have done some very thorough testing over the past few weeks to see i can fx my problem. Ok look at this: i have a nice amount of data: ---- symptoms ---- my probelem was that sometimes i randomely do not get the messages that people send me, and sometimes my msn logs off automatically. ---- configuration ----- windows XP home on a toshiba laptop, MSN 6.2 latest version, wireless netgear router with this computer and another desktop PC, allowing only thse 2 computers to connect to it via MAC address ---- Here's what i tried (desperate measures) ---- 1)ok lastnight i reformatted my laptop with the toshiba recovery disks, and re-installed msn 6.2, i DID NOT installl SP2 this time. 2)i picked a different hotmail account alltogether, one that i only used on msn a couple of times, i changed the secret hint question, i changed the password. 3)i logged onto msn, and the symptom of missing a friend's message came back. ---- conclusions ---- the problem is not: -is not SP2 -is not windows xp home in itself -is not that someone hacked my address or is logging on instead of me or by accident... -is not the msn program itself or any of its registry entries the problem might be: -related to my laptop hardware (because our other computer does not do that) -related to my networking hardware or its configuaration -maybe related to a default setting in windows xp home that comes with toshiba that affects msn? it would be funny it it's my laptop or networking hardware because we've had them for over a year whereas i've had to problem for about 2-3 months.

JONATHAN i am getting on my knees
i have had a cable internet connection with this router
for about 7-8-9 months. way beyond the time frame of this problem. i can say that when i use the account on the office computer, it does not do this. and that's with XP home and 6.2 as well, but a DSL provider. ok now one more thing - i think i may be onto something now, hopefully i'm on my way to i fixing it. i am using a new msn account now, and for the past 4-5 hours i have had a few instances of lost messages with only one buddy who has a mac computer, but with all the other people i've had no problems yet, and my msn 6.2 has not crashed yet. i'll need at least 1-2 days to believe that it's really working now. i'm just curious, are there any known issues with connunicating with mac versions of messenger? and furthermore, since i have indications that the problem is this computer, it's hard to believe that changing the account will work. maybe this is a problem specifc to the combination of this computer's hardware AND my old account, that's really the only temporary conclusion for now... anyway i'm crossing my fingers here...

ok there we go, i just missed a string messages from
another person. So now we know this has nothing to do with any specific msn account. so it could be a windows xp home setting or feature..or maybe a hardware thing Mike -----Original Message----- Who is your ISP? have you tried changing? .... might be worth trying a free trial with Tiscali or one of the others to see if it solves your problems... cud be your ISP servers OR your phone line...... ask BT to check that as well "Mike" wrote in message ... and begging for you to just at least let me know that you saw this message. please! i have done some very thorough testing over the past few weeks to see i can fx my problem.

Hi Mike,
I think you're going to have to try and isolate the problem using process of elimination (unplug the router, connect directly, see if you can generate the problem on the laptop that way, etc.).

JONATHAN i am getting on my knees
i appreciate you guys getting down with this problem. I
don't know if I mentionned that this account works fine on other computers. This would suggest that the problem is with some hadware or software configuraion within my home.. unless of course the reason I'm not having problems outside of the home is because i don't have enough data to work with. I.E. I don't use those computers as much as I do my home computer. But still.. It's either something in XP home or with my connection, or maybe updated firmware in my router?? Or perhaps the combination of two factors, which would make these symptoms rare.

alright.. before i do that, here's a list of things that
i've been reading about that i wanna make sure. -UPNP- i think it was turned off on my router and I turned it on this morning, is it possible that it was off all that time and i was still able to play games and send files to other people? if so, should i just test it now? what do i need to do in windows to make sure UPNP is working fine? -should i try to disable SPI firewall or too dangerous? -i read stuff on other msg boards about using a DMZ server..? -port forwarding Mike -----Original Message----- Hi Mike, I think you're going to have to try and isolate the problem using process of elimination (unplug the router, connect directly, see if you can generate the problem on the laptop that way, etc.).

You *must* contact me for redistribution rights. wrote in message ... ok there we go, i just missed a string messages from another person. So now we know this has nothing to do with any specific msn account. so it could be a windows xp home setting or feature..or maybe a hardware thing Mike -----Original Message----- Who is your ISP? have you tried changing? .... might be worth trying a free trial with Tiscali or one of the others to see if it solves your problems... cud be your ISP servers OR your phone line...... ask BT to check that as well "Mike" wrote in message .. . and begging for you to just at least let me know that you saw this message. please! i have done some very thorough testing over the past few weeks to see i can fx my problem. Ok look at this: i have a nice amount of data: ---- symptoms ---- my probelem was that sometimes i randomely do not get the messages that people send me, and sometimes my msn logs off automatically. ---- configuration ----- windows XP home on a toshiba laptop, MSN 6.2 latest version, wireless netgear router with this computer and another desktop PC, allowing only thse 2 computers to connect to it via MAC address ---- Here's what i tried (desperate measures) ---- 1)ok lastnight i reformatted my laptop with the toshiba recovery disks, and re-installed msn 6.2, i DID NOT installl SP2 this time. 2)i picked a different hotmail account alltogether, one that i only used on msn a couple of times, i changed the secret hint question, i changed the password. 3)i logged onto msn, and the symptom of missing a friend's message came back. ---- conclusions ---- the problem is not: -is not SP2 -is not windows xp home in itself -is not that someone hacked my address or is logging on instead of me or by accident... -is not the msn program itself or any of its registry entries the problem might be: -related to my laptop hardware (because our other computer does not do that) -related to my networking hardware or its configuaration -maybe related to a default setting in windows xp home that comes with toshiba that affects msn? it would be funny it it's my laptop or networking hardware because we've had them for over a year whereas i've had to problem for about 2-3 months. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I BEG YOU PLEASE ADVISE thank you, Mike . . |
