notification kills VPN
I don't really care about being notified that I am signed into WLM from 2
places and have tried to suppress the notification. Taht doesn't seem to work, but that is not really my problem. EVERY time I receive that notification, if I am working in an active VPN connection, the VPN is dropped. So, (1) what should be 'fixed' so it doesn't drop, and/or (2) how can I at least achieve the workaround of suppressing notifications ? Any chance this is an issue of packet meddling by my access provider ? Env: Windows XP Pro SP3 WLM 14.0.8064.206 access: cable modem (TimeWarnerCable) Many thanks.

notification kills VPN
Greetings Don,
Well I don't think it's the notification that's doing it as it's a standard toast. It's more likely the change in the protocol as the result of the change of logging into the other session. I really have nothing specific to suggest, but I am curious if there's a router involved here. If so, as a starting point, make sure it's updated to the latest firmware. Also, can you reconnect to the VPN after it drops? -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2009 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "DonJ_Austin" wrote in message ...

notification kills VPN
Thanks for the reply.
Granted I cannot cite any evidence of causation, but the 100% coincidence has got to suggest something. Other Internet activity happens on the local machine that does not impact the VPN. Yes, there is a LinkSys router sitting behind my cable modem, but I checked for firmware upgrades anbout 8 weeks or so ago and found it up-to-date. And, trying to read through all the layers of your post, it is NOT the case that I am logging into WLM from any computer with the VPN up on the computer in question. The WLM stub is running from Start and I am logged in. I have no idea what schedule or events trigger the notification. Any suggestions ? Any place else to inquire, research or post ?

notification kills VPN
Hi Don,
There have been plenty of instances in the past where router manufacturers have introduced ALG bugs by trying to rewrite Messenger's protocol. However, it's been awhile since I've heard of one. So, what you're saying is that you're not actually logging in from multiple locations? Instead, the message just appears and your VPN drops? Could it be that you've merely had your connection drop and because you're going through the tunnel, when Messenger automatically tries to reconnect, it still thinks you're logged on from somewhere else? -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2009 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "DonJ_Austin" wrote in message ...

notification kills VPN
Thanks for the response. I was saying that with respect to state *change*.
I am signed in to WLM on multiple computers and remain so. With no change in sign-in status, the notification pops up. If I happen to be on an active VPN connection (doing something unrelated to WLM) when the NOTIFICATION pops up, the VPN dies (1) every time those two conditions exist and (2) immediately upon appearance of the WLM multiple sign-in notification. Is that clearer ?
