March 16, 200719 yr Dear all, I have a laptop connected via a wireless Sitecom WL-173 router. The connection is protected via WPA2/TKIP and works good. Only MSN Messenger and Skype often go offline, and the automaticly reconnects, while surfing via Internet Explorer is no problem. The wireless connection does not drop only MSN and Skype have problems.More people with this problem ?? Edited March 16, 200719 yr by ph1dft
March 23, 200719 yr I have the same problem but with yahoo messenger. I even formated my hdd but I still could not get the messenger to work. I have no problems with msn or skype. When did you start having troubles?
March 31, 200719 yr Author The problem started right after I bought a Vista laptop and a router.Wired there's no problem !
May 9, 200719 yr It's a known problem with some routers and Vista. Netgear have recently updated the firmware on some of their routers to fix the problem, maybe updating the firmware on your router will fix this isssue too?
May 11, 200719 yr Author Dear Caretaker,I have the latest firmware for my router, but it doesn't fix the problem.Also the netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled doesn't solve it.Any other ideas ??
