Webcam disconnects wireless connection by jordanspringer on 08-12-2006 at 10:04 PM
Hey, I have never had any problems using webcams with Windows Live Messenger, until today. I am trying to have either a webcam, or Video Call with one specific contact. My webcam works with every other contact on my list, but with this one contact, if I try to view their cam, get them to view mine, or have a video call, it always says Connecting... then it disconnects my computer from the internet!
I am using a Di-524 router from Dlink, and a USB Adapter to pick up the wireless signal on my PC. The firmware on the router is up to date, and nothing seems to work, anyone ever experience this?

I'm having a similar problem, but its not llimited to one contact.
I can get the cam session started and conected, but then MSN just disconnects itself.
My wireless appears to be fine as I can still browse and my other IM apps are still connected.
This problem doesn't occur all the time, but when it does, I have to reboot my PC to stand any chance of maintaining MSN connectivity and the cam session.
Cheers.
