MSN Live Messenger Issue

[BlackDragon]

Hi guys,

Occasionally, live messenger on my desktop decides to not sign in. I can resolve this by restarting my computer, but as I have a load of windows open with my work in, I don't really want to do that.

I know it isn't anything to do with the MSN messenger service because I can log straight on with my laptop using the same network.

I've tried restarting the network adapter, reconnecting to the router, and trying to repair my connection. None of these work.

How does one go about issues such as this without having to reboot?

I get this sometimes, my connection drops and then I cant sign back into messenger. I think its because the connection is still active on the router or something, idk. I just wait 5mins then it usually works again.
