MSN Constantly Disconnecting by nash0r on 08-06-2007 at 11:40 AM
I have messenger live 7.5 (I think) with plus. Every 5 minutes or so, I get disconnected and it says "Your connection to Windows Live Messenger has been lost."
"Reconnecting..."
Anyone know what I can do? It is seriously annoying

try turning off your modem (and router, if applicable) and then turning it back on after a few minutes and see if it still happens.
I'd also disable all firewalls and see if that helps.

I've also had this problem for about a month now. I've tried disconnecting the router.. opening up ports...reinstalling. Nothing's worked.
RE: MSN Constantly Disconnecting by MattyRid on 08-11-2007 at 11:42 PM
OK what firewall are you both using?
RE: MSN Constantly Disconnecting by tootsieroll48 on 08-12-2007 at 06:40 AM
I'm using Shaw Secure 2.0 as my firewall, just the one that comes from my internet provider, as well as just the regular Windows Firewall? and also I'm on a D-link DI-704p router.
RE: MSN Constantly Disconnecting by ScottyRotten on 08-12-2007 at 09:52 PM
I am also using Shaw Secure 2.0, I checked my Event Viewer and I found logs time-stamped matching when WLM Disconnects, and restarts.
I'm calling Shaw Tech Support, gonna be a 10 min wait.
It's either Firewall or Plus! issue but I thought I'd add my two bits.
RE: MSN Constantly Disconnecting by MattyRid on 08-12-2007 at 09:57 PM
Firewall issue, 2 reports with the same firewall, definately the firewall is not allowing Windows Live Messenger to connect through (Messenger Plus! would have nothing to do with it).
RE: MSN Constantly Disconnecting by tootsieroll48 on 08-13-2007 at 12:27 AM
I've just uninstalled Shaw 2.0 and connected my computer directly to the modem. So far everything is fine so far, so yea it might have been the firewall program

I'm using Zone Alarm, same thing happens when it is turned off

I've used Zone Alarm, but I didn't have that problem, I just couldn't see other people's DP
So I uninstalled it. Using Outpost now.Zone Alarm controls everything, kind of annoying.
RE: MSN Constantly Disconnecting by ScottyRotten on 08-14-2007 at 03:27 AM
Well I re-installed and still have the issue, and I do not have a hardwear Firewall. I guess I'll call Tech Support tomorrow. If I get it fixed I'll post.

Try updating it, if that doesn't help try uninstalling it and see if it helps.
RE: MSN Constantly Disconnecting by ScottyRotten on 08-16-2007 at 06:22 PM
Well I got an update from my security provider, and now messanger does not disconnect anymore since then.
I left it on one night, and since I have messenger Plus! I saw in my event viewer that nothing happened,
I'm outta here, later!
