Windows Live Messenger Keeps Disconnecting!!!

Hi, I have a Linksys WRT54G v6, and I've noticed that everytime I'm either wired or wirelessly connected to the router,  WL Messenger tends to disconnect every so often and then reconnects again right after.   When I'm not connected to the router, and directly connected to my modem my messenger never gets disconnected.
Does anyone know how to fix this , because it gets really annoying!?!

To make sure the router works up to it's maximum potential or to avoid problems in the future it is suggested to download the latest firmware (operating software) into the router itself. This upgrade may help alleviate your messenger issue.
To upgrade the firmware:
1) download the firmware from www.linksys.com/downloads Look for your product model number from the list (e.g WRT54G v6)
2) save the file on your desktop
3) reconnect the modem-router-computer all to each other (via ethernet cable).
4) click on start - run (type in cmd)
5) on the DOS prompt type in ipconfig (take note of the default gateway number)
6) open up Internet Explorer and type in the default gateway number (i.e. 192.168.1.1).
7) username: leave it blank password: admin
8) go to the Administration tab and go to Firmware Upgrade
9) upgrade the firmware using the downloaded file (i.e browse and open the downloaded file then hit upgrade)
10) after the upgrade, press the reset button for 30 seconds then turn off and turn on the router.

  • Windows live messenger disconnection on nokia 6022...

    Hi up until recently I could log into windows live messenger on my mobile, now when I log in I get a error 201 and a message say that "you were disconnected from windows live messenger - server initiated disconnect" then asks  if I want to connect again. I have searched the net for a answer to how I can get back on messenger but no answer anywhere. Can anyone help me?

    hi,
    i believe we are talking about 6220 Classic right?
    have you checked "Download"? have you tried to update "Download" as well, if it is not showing there?
    the other things is if your 6220 is network locked, you might have some restrictions on the apps availability and usage, try to ask your service provider...
    if certificate error is shown, try to check the "Application Manager" and see Settings and make sure "Software installation is set to ALL, and Online certificate is also "OFF"

  • ITunes keeps stealing focus from itself when used with Windows Live Messenger 2011

    Dear Community,
    I've always used WinAmp as my default music player, which worked like a charm both at playing music and showing my 'Currently Listening To' in WLM 2011.
    However, I personally think iTunes has better library management, and since I bought an iPod Shuffle (4GB, small stick without buttons, think 3th gen?) I needed it anyway just to be able to listen to my music when I'm in the bus or train, so I made the switch.
    It really works quite nice after you get to know the program, minor flaws here and there, but no really big deals. (except the lack of FLAC support, had to recode like 60% of my library, I like lossless audio without a proprietary codec)
    At least, not until I used it to show the currently playing song in WLM2011.
    Since upgrading from iTunes 9 to 10 (10.4.1.10 to be exact, and upgraded after a clean install of Windows 7 SP1, so to make it clear, iTunes 9 was not installed at the time I installed iTunes 10, nor were there any files or leftovers) it just keeps stealing focus. Not from my browser, or other apps, but from itself!
    Whenever I try to edit a song's information and WLM is running, it keeps popping back to the main window, which makes correcting songs (like putting the artist in the right column) a real pain in the ***.
    I'm running W7 x64 SP1 (build 7601), all drivers are up to date, WLM 2011 (build 15.4.3538.513) and, if it makes a difference, WLM Plus 5.03.0.716.
    I already have it as 'Default Program' for all possible file extensions.
    I have looked through these forums to see if there's a similar problem and found many, however, they all apply to older versions (iTunes 6 and 7 or MSN 7 and 8) and don't seem to work with this new version.
    If any of you know a way to keep iTunes as my default player and show the currently playing son in WLM2011 without iTunes stealing its own focus, I'd love to hear it!
    If there's any more information needed about my system, let me know, I will try to provide
    Thanks in advance!

    hi there, i've had this same issue too for a while...so basically...the problem only happens if you run windows live messenger with compatability mode and while you tell windows live messenger to show what music you're listening to.
    SO the solution to this problem is to:
    1. turn off compatability mode
    OR
    2. turn off "show imformation about the song im listening to" to on windows live messenger
    personally i'd rather just turn off "show imformation about the song im listening to" because windows live messanger tends to crash a lot when compatability mode is turned off.

  • Download windows live messenger n96

    where cn i download windows live messenger for my nokia n96 fanxs

    Hello guys,
    Having read about your discussion about windows live messenger for N96 I thought i'd throw in a few things.
    First off the windows live messenger isn't out for the N96, Like few of you here who has an N96 I have purchased one aswell and I tried various different forums and went into the download but I still have no success for the messenger.
    As for those of you who are looking for the .sisx file, it is possible to get it, the tip is if you can get hold of an N95/N95 8GB,
    1 - Download the 'Nokia Download' software onto your pc and install it.
    2 - Once installation has finished connect the N95/N95 8GB to your pc then run the 'Download' program from your PC, wait till the application detects the phone.
    3 - After this process is done, in the 'Download' program you will see a tab for 'Applications' click on it and you will find the 'Windows Live I.M' click on it and download it.
    4 - After the download has finished look at the bottom right hand corner of the 'Download' application, you will see a status bar showing you how much has been downloaded or if it shows the bar is full it means its fully downloaded, if this is the case then you will notice that it is automatically installing the 'windows Live I.M' into your phone however you have to cancell it by pressing the 'X' button located beside the status bar as mentioned before.
    5 - Once you cancel the installation you can either leave you phone connected to your PC or disconnected but the next step is on your PC find and select your user folder on C: drive then go to 'Appata/Roaming/Nokia/Nokia Download!' then you will see two files in .sisx one is called 'Nokia Internet Service Support Pack 1' (This file is to be installed into you phone before Windows Live I.M to support messenger) and the second file is 'Windows Live I.M' which should be installed in to your phone after the 'Nokia Internet Service Support pack l') you can install both files in the order explained into your phone buy connecting your N96 to your PC and double click on the files one at a time then run the installation or transfer both files directly into your phone and install it that way.
    I have actually tried this myself but I had no luck in being able to install either of the files because I keep getting an error messages but if anyone else wants to give it a try then do so, if you have any luck with your N96 then post us the outcome here please.
    The only thing I can think of is the N96 is not recognising the 'Signed Certificate' which is encrypted into the 'Nokia Internet Support Pack 1' file hence why I or anyone else will have trouble installing it. Remember without the 'Nokia Internet Support Pack 1', Windowes Live I.M will not install into your phone.
    Sorry for the long essay guys but that was the process from my experience and I hope Nokia and Windows Live do something about this to make the software available for the N96 soon.
    Bless to all.

  • N6700 Classic - Windows Live Messenger Application

    Is there anybody who managed the Windows Live Messenger Application that already is installed on the phone CONNECTED to Windows Live Messenger???

    Ok, an update on this.
    I was pretty confidernt that it was Messenger alone that was instigating the conenction as the connected icon was only displayed when messenger signed in. I made the change to the admin settings but that made no difference, so I then put them back to how they were and tried again. Messenger then did exactly what it did previously (as you'd expect) but this time instead of disconnecting the connection I waited and had a think as to what the next step forward would be. And lone behold after about a minute the connection is disconnected. So it would appear that Messenger does behave the same way as all other applications, but it just takes a lot longer to drop the conenction than the other applications.
    Problem (or lack of ) solved. I guess I was just not patient enough, but I didn't expect that it would take anywhere near as long as that to tidy itself up.
    Thanks for you input

  • Push Mail Not Working Properly for Windows Live Mail when Online At Windows Live Messenger

    Hello,
    This is quite an old subject, but it seems to be a recurring problem across versions of Windows Live Messenger handheld client software and Blackberry Internet Service server software. For some time, I used to have no issues with Live Messenger and Push Mail from Hotmail. Now, once again, I am having a huge delay, of several hours, when logged on as “Online” to Windows Live Messenger.
     What makes me believe that it is not a Windows Live limitation, by design, due to protocols and notification mechanisms in use, is the fact that I can receive both push mail and instant message notifications, immediately, as long as I am logged on to Windows Live Messenger as “Busy” or “Away”. If the protocols in place allowed notifications to only a single service at a time, I believe it should not work regardless of the status on Windows Live Messenger.
    I have been using Hotmail for quite a while and most of my friends use Windows Live Messenger, so I would like to keep both working in my BlackBerry. I understand BlackBerry has a commitment to offering broad compatibility, great stability, and better integration than other solutions on the market that appeals to fancy user interfaces and forget about objectivity. Having a mobile platform that can keep both the corporate and consumer world happy is definitely a great advantage. There are several loyal users that would like to keep sharing the proficiency on a common user interface for business and personal use. 
    I do not often post messages to online forums, but this is an issue that has been annoying me for quite some time and I am really looking forward to a solution. Is anyone experiencing the same behavior with Windows Live Messenger lately? Is RIM looking for a solution?
    Thanks,

    Ahhh...given that description, it may be WAD (Working As Designed):
    KB15747Email message delivery is delayed because of an integrated Windows Live Hotmail account on the BlackBerry smartphone
    As such, there would be nothing to report...

  • Songs don't show up in Windows Live Messenger after itunes 7.0.1 update

    The topic line pretty much says it all. I've checked the settings in Messenger. I'm not sure the songs are supposed to show up in Messenger from itunes, but they always have and I like that feature.
    Since updating itunes from 7.0 to 7.0.1 this feature doesn't work. I wonder why apple doesn't test their stuff before releasing it anymore. They're getting as bad as Microsoft anymore, which is a shame. I'm referring mainly to the larger problems with itunes 7 rather than my petty problem here.
    Any help would be appreciated though. Thanks.

    I had the same problem!!!!
    in windows live messenger (msn 8.0) go 2 tool>options & make sure the show song information from WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER as a personal messeger box is ticked!
    then sign out of the messenger, close it & itunes, then open up windows live messenger, sign in, then open itunes @ start playing ur songs!
    this worked for me. hope it works for u.
    good luck!

  • Lose connection to E1000 when using Windows Live Messenger

    I have a laptop running Vista which connects to the Internet through my Linksys E1000 wireless router.  We have installed Windows Live Messenger, v2011 on the laptop, but whenever we try to login, the E1000 appears to crash.  It is still running, but we cannot get an Internet connection on any computer in the house.  I must then reboot the E1000 and the DSL modem in order to restore the Internet connection.  I spoke with Linksys technical support for over an hour, and tried different things, but the E1000 continues to crash when Windows Live Messenger is used.  The technical support person suggested that I may need to investigate "port forwarding" for WLM. Could this be the problem?  And if I find out which ports are used by WLM, and open these on the E1000, might this solve the problem?  We also tried using WLM from a different computer that uses the E1000 for internet access, and the same problem occurred.

    Follow this link to find the port numbers used by Windows Live messenger.
    Open these ports on your router and see if that works.

  • Firefox will not open from the start menu or the taskbar, but WILL open when called from Windows Live Messenger

    This started a couple weeks ago, but doesn't seem to coincide with any other installations or reconfigurations, so I'm having trouble getting at the root cause.
    The first time I run Firefox after installing, it runs fine (complete with a full list of add-ons.) If I then close FF and try to start it from the task bar or start menu, nothing happens. I've tried starting in safe mode (shift+FF), but get the same result. I've restored FF to all the default settings, disabled all my plugins and add ons, but no change.
    The really odd part is that if I click the 'Inbox' link in my Windows Live Messenger, FF opens perfectly. This made me think that it was my homepage causing the issue, but A: I can go to that page without problems once FF has started from WLM, and B: even if I use the FF default homepage or google.com, I get the same problem. Furthermore, if I restart FF from within FF (like after I disable/enable an add-on), it will also start properly.
    No crash report is generated by FF when it fails to load, but Windows catches the problem in it's event log. I've pasted the contents of that record at the bottom in the hopes that someone can take a stab at what's wrong.
    Finally, I've already run through the online crash help, but everything is either not related (since FF will start if called indirectly) or has already been prevented (absolutely no add-ons are running at the moment.)

    I have exactly the same issue. After FF upgraded on its own to version 5, it won't open from start menu, taskbar, desktop icon, or even by pressing firefox.exe in program files directory. It does so by pressing a link at msn messenger, inside Outlook etc.
    Disabling all addons, didn't help. Moreover, I can't start FF in safe mode or start profile manager (Start > Run> firefox.exe -ProfileManager).

  • Nokia 5800 windows live messenger

    many times i have tried 2 install windows live messenger in my nokia 5800 but it says expired certifiacte . where can i dwnload the messenger for free which works

    I have a Nokia 5800, I got it in the first week that it was released in the UK. (Just in case it's a particular version.)
    I have got the official Windows Live Messenger application, it installed without any problems whatsoever.
    But, I have a really weird problem. This is what happens...
    I open the application.
    It shows me the sign in screen.
    I click the textbox and start to enter my email address... I get about half way through entering it then....
    My phone instantly turns off and the screen fades away!
    It isn't always the same place where I am editing text, but it's always in the sign in process.
    I haven't a clue why this happens, it has never happened in any other application, but happens every time with Messenger?!?!
    (Before anyone asks: Yes, my phone was charged.) 

  • Does anyone recommend a program i can install so i can still contact my windows live messenger contacts without compromising my mac?

    Hi out there,
    I am the proud new owner of a macbook pro and am lovin it! I used to talk with family and friends on windows live messenger but am not sure whether to download the mac version at microsoft incase of compromising the system and unfortunately IChat doesn't work with messenger contacts.  Does anyone have any advise on the mac version of messenger or is there an alternative program that i can download which may work better?  Thanks to anyone who may be able to advise me.

    Hi
    Welcome to the Mac world! You can certainly download Messenger - there's no reason it should compromise your system. You could also look at Adium, which is MSN-compatible.

  • Windows live messenger disappeare​d?

    Yesterday I accidentally hid windows live messenger but then I found the way to get it back by pressing show all.
    But today I went to go on the application and it wasn't anywhere, I tried to press the show all button again but it wasn't there when I clicked the menu key.
    I then tried to re download it and it didn't change anything.
    Does anyone no what could of happened or how to fix this? Thank you.

    1. On your homescreen, press the Menu key > SHOW ALL, so that SHOW ALL is checked.
    When and if you see it, click the Menu key again > unhide.
    also,
    2. Look in EACH folder on your device... Applications, Instant Messengers, Downloads, etc.
    If you still don't see it, look at Options > Advanced > Applications. Do you see it listed there?
    You might have accidentally moved it to a folder.
