MSN Messenger weird logout

[BustedAvi]

I know that msn is a pain in the @$$ but i'm really annyoed by this problem

For a while now MSN Messenger 6.1 (or whatever the latest) has been signing me out for no reason, just out of nowhere. for a while i thought it was just MSN in service.

So i bought a new computer and put both of my computers on a network with the internet (Bell sympatico high speed dsl), and now my new one has the same problem!!!!

I know it isn't my connection because for a while i never had the new computer on a network, and it was plugged directly to the modem, and i never had these problems.

Any ideas? Help would be greatly appreciated.

what version of msn are you running? do you have a software or hardware firewall?

have you tried reinstalling msn 6.1?

[BustedAvi]

I am running the latest msn (6.1 i think) and yes i have tried reinstalling it many times.

I am not behind a firewall

bump it up

are you behind a router?


maybe enabling upnp would help....

are you using proxy?

Do you have another PC running may have the same account installed on it? MSN will log you out if you log in somewhere else...

Yes i am using a router, and no my other computer isnt loggin me on kicking me off (even if so msn notifies you that you have been singed in at another location)

enabling upnp? never herd of it? explain...

have no fear with that problem.
they are doing that when they clear out there data base of old unused users
just log back on when they do that
almost once a month that happens, nothing wrong on your end

well its not really every month, try every 10 mins
