I cant seem to run aim and msn at the same time one way or the other one or both of them disconnects or doesnt stay on for long and trillian is no different

Any ideas?

It's not just you. I have the same problem. No idea how to fix it but restarting and/or toggling fixes for about a day it seems like.

that is weird. i have two AIM sn's and two MSN sn's on constantly on my computer via trillian. this problem doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. how are you connecting to the internet.

comcast cable

This is also causing me problems with Diablo 2 and Gamespy cant use d2 and gamespy can only be used once or twice bfore having to restart

BTW D2 doesnt work on any other comp in my house :/

this is beginning to sound more like a connection problem than an AIM/MSN/computer prob. does your cable signal drop alot/get massive slow downs. You might need to get the Comcast guys out there to tune it up some. I assume you're behind a router. just for curiosity's sake, do you think you can put your computer in the DMZ and see if things work better? hmm, also, for diagnoistics sake, use http://www.ethereal.com/ to sniff the packets on your computer (set up a filter to only sniff AIM packets) and send the info to a log file. I'm not sure that I'll be able to help you with the output from this, but the servers might be sending an error message that the client isn't displaying that would be helpful for figuring things out.
