MSN Messenger Interrupts My Internet Connection

ascribe2thelord · 12-12-2007, 07:01 PM

I have a wireless connection, and it seems that normally it works just fine. All the lights are blinking and everything. However, when I try to get on MSN I get knocked offline and it takes between 5-30 minutes for the modem to connect again.

Sometimes it just goes offline whether or not I am running MSN.

This is a serious problem for me because the one person I talk to on MSN is very important to me.

Is this a firewall problem, a virus problem, or something worse?

Does the wireless itself go down or the actual modem? What happens if you try using a wired connection?
