Messenger Automatic sign out
Greetings Grant,
Here are some suggestions that might help: If you're using a third-party firewall (Sygate, ZoneAlarm, Norton, etc.) try uninstalling them or set Messenger to "Permit All" or "Allow" type options in the firewall configuration. If you're using a router, make sure you have the latest firmware from your router manufacturer. As well, you might try setting your computers local IP into the routers DMZ setting (see documentation on how to do this). If you see the disconnection problem on a corporate network, the network may be timing out your settings -- in this case, you might want to ask your system administrator to adjust the corporate internet sharing solution/firewall (if possible). Finally, this can also happen due to a lack of bandwidth. If you have Kazaa, WinMX, GNUtella or some other file sharing-type application or something else that takes considerable amounts of bandwidth, you may want to shut it down and see if that helps the situation (even if you're using a high speed connection, these applications can use most of the resources of your connection). ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Grant Smith" wrote in message ...
