Live Messenger Client
Does anyone know why msn live messenger randomly decides to stop receiving and send messages sometimes. I would be chatting with someone, and it seems as if messenger disconnects me from the conversation. How did i find that out. Because one day i was using remote desktop to a friends pc and he was in the same 3 way conversation i was in, and i noticed after 5 mins, without me closing the windows myself, messenger disconnected me and i saw that i automatically left the chat on my friends side.
At first i though it was a firewall problem in which somehow the messenger service couldn't get to me, but even after i disabled software and dmzed the pc (tested with all ports exposed) it still would not be reliable enough that i can trust it to receive all messages and if my ims were even sent out... Thats when another though came to mind and i though it was my system. At the time i was running vista, so i decided to up to windows 7. Reinstalled. Great. Install live messenger, EXACT same issues. No firewall, no antivirus! Clean system! Is there a reason why this is happening?? I checked the connection tab in messenger, and it says im directly connected to the messenger service, through a non-upnp port restricted nat. Thanks |

No, i just used remote desktop to try and figure out what exactly was going on by chatting with myself and clearly it doesn't always work right. My internet is working fine im not being disconnected or anything. It happened without me on remote desktop.

If you are behind a router .. Have you tried updating the router f/w? If you are using a s/w firewall .. try allowing ICMP traffic.

Have you recreated the issue? Do you get disconnected everytime you chat?

Happens with or without it. Same thing. Maybe my connection somehow drops for a second and this happens often? Can this affect the messenger service as if this were to be happening it doesn't seem to affect any other internet connected devices. If so i will try swapping my modem.
