It all started just under 3 weeks ago. I bought a samsung vaio laptop from comet. I also have a pc in my bedroom which is the main pc where the net runs off where it runs to my dads & my laptop.
We have the virgin media modem + a belkin router and are wireless. Since I have been on wireless my msn is constantly signing me out on my laptop & pc, i am not sure if it does on my dads though. It signs in like normal however if i send a message they cannot see my message and i cannot see peoples messages if they say anything to me.
I have tried everything i can think of.
I have no firewalls, i have done a spyware scan on spyware doctor & norton which are free with google updates.
I have unistalled MSN so many times i have lost count. I have messed with IE settings & nothing so far has worked. I have also searched on google - cant find anything! Lowered my internet security, checked my connections with msn. I dont download at all.
I have also updated my msn to 9.0 ( i think) i got it from here-http://get.live.com/messenger/overview
My router is a belkin router
If anyone has any idea of anything I can try any help is greatful
many thanks x

Are all of your PC's connected via wireless? Why not leave the main PC wired? You have not mentioned encryption, is it secured? You may be getting interference from a nearby wireless set-up, Can you see any other networks? What channel are they on?:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0
