Unstable Messenger Connection...

[Guest]

Lately I have been having problems keeping connected with the latest version
of Windows Live Messenger... Not only it takes a long time to connect, but
shortly after it drops the connection, takes several minutes to reconnect,
and shortly after it reconnects, the cycle repeats itself all over again, and
repeats itself indefinitely... Thing is, the same thing is happening to my
Yahoo messenger as well, same exact behavior...

What has me frustrated is that these are the only two messengers that seem
to have that problem...

When I use AIM, the moment it connects, it stays connected...

When I tried using Skype, it took a little while to connect (mostly because
when I tried to connect that time, it took the opportunity to download and
install the latest, updated version), but once it connected, it stayed
connected...

ICQ Pro disconnected at first a couple of times, but after that it stayed
connected...

I know it is not the internet connection since I have no problems whatsoever
in connecting to the Internet, and I have no problems checking my emails
using Outlook...

Any info that could help me solve this problem would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks for your time,

Eddie
