Actually, i am ALSO having the same problem as ReD-RevolutioN with wlm. However, i think it could possibly have something to do with Messenger Plus! Live instead of wlm itself.
The problem is that I get disconnected from wlm every hour or less especially when i'm in the middle of a msn conversation with someone. I can't even receive big files anymore because it would just keep disconnecting me every now and then for a minute or so.
I know this is not a network problem on my side because I've done the packet loss test suggested above, I've never had this bad experience with any of the msn messengers before, and i can always use the internet while getting disconnected from wlm.
Could the devs be so kind to help or check messenger plus! live for this kind of bugs?
In addition, could anyone tell me how to do a CLEAN UNINSTALL of Windows LIVE Messenger AND Messenger Plus! Live? I've tried to reinstall both using Add/Remove Programs but maybe some files were still left on my computer after the simple uninstallation.
Thanks alot for your kind help.
well there are other reasons for frequent disconnects tehn just packet loss
it could be a bad phone line, faulty filter, bad modem, problem on the ISP side and so on
i don't know why i didn't suggest this earlyer, pwr cycle the modem, so unplug the power cable, wait 30 seconds, then plug it back in
