I have the newest AIM, and a Linksys WCT200(?), cable modem/wireless/wired router in one.
I've gone into AIM and connection and did the autotry to find best connection, no change.
I have it set to automatically reconnect and it does, but pulls me out of games and other programs.
It never did this before, and it does it on both of my computers.. one is using 802.11g and the other cat5e.
I just doesnt make any sense, as far as I've seen MSN messenger does stay connected for long periods of time like its supposed too..
one thing im trying now is disabling windows firewall (SP2) as its redundant anyway.
but theres no firmware updates for my router and i just have no idea whats goign on here.
ive used AIM for many years and never had this occur so often. infact, MSN was the unstable one in my experience.. i expect it to "crash" at least once every 24 hours... while I've had AIM goign 12-20 days.. and that kind of uptime is nothing to be surprised about.
Now its like every 20-30minutes its reconnecting (set automatically). I messed with a bunch of wireless settings until i noticed my other PC was doing it too.
We'll see if its SP2's firewall, as I just installed SP2 on my other machine...
any suggestions? besides "dont use aim".. yar har har.
