| 119883 | 2003-02-10 01:41:00 | Whenever I connect Trillian Pro or MSNM they keep dropping out when I surf, so I have to constantly reconnect - is there any way to fix this? | SpiderVenom (1412) | ||
| 119884 | 2003-02-10 02:00:00 | When Im at home, my connection will periodically drop too on MSN 4.6 and 5. This I think it because Im doing so much other stuff that it must do a 'heartbeat' check every now and then to make sure you're still connected so it can keep your contacts up to date on your status. At work I'll sign in at 9AM and sign out at 5PM and thats it! Try leaving yourself connected and dont do any surfing for a while and see what happens?! Cheers Chilling_Silence |

| 119885 | 2003-02-10 02:00:00 | I think it's a problem with MSN, it's been happening to me latley when I've been using Gaim on the Linux box. | nz_liam (845) | ||
| 119886 | 2003-02-10 02:08:00 | MSN has been particularly bad lately. But yes it also does require bandwidth but I find trillian requires a heap less than the standard MSN clients. There is a handy thread over in the Trillian Forums which you can find here (www.trillian.cc) which will show you what servers are up and what are down. Was quite handy to find this thread..... previously to that I'd just install more IM programs and see if they worked. |

| 119887 | 2003-02-10 02:10:00 | Also sometimes multiple connections from the one IP can cause problems. At college I'll get booted off *heaps* with others having the same problem.... either that or it's something the college set up because we shouldn't be using MSN. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
| 119888 | 2003-02-10 02:21:00 | Just happened to me then. But very briefly. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
| 119889 | 2003-02-10 06:44:00 | What's your internet connection? I find that on 56K and you are using a lot of bandwidth for downloading (webpages, files, etc) that MSN will sometimes drop. I haven't ran a packet sniffer on it but I'd believe that the MSN servers send a ping to your MSN seeing if it's still alive. If it doesn't get a reply back from it then it probably thinks you've gone offline and will drop your MSN. I think it'll happen on any internet connection but only if you can use up all your available bandwidth. Which is pretty hard on broadband. |
