MSN Live problem :/

[5ingh]

I've got an annoying problem with MSN Live (8.1..78).

When I login it shows me who is online etc as usual. But after that, the list will not update unless I sign off. So I can be sitting here, thinking that my friend is online, when in fact he's not!

What makes it even worse is, when I sign in, I can only send/recieve messages for a 30 seconds. I can carry on sending a message, but my contact will not recieve it - vice versa.

It only started a few days ago aswell. I've tried a reinstall, installed an older version. Same thing. Running Vista, and Windows Firewall.

Any ideas?

Yeah, I'm running a hardware firewall (Netgear DG834). I've tried Meebo and that works fine.

Hmm, I download all my patches from Mess.be. I've tried it without the patch (clean install) and it doesn't work.

Is there some issue with one of the patches you have mentioned?

i had the same problem its because you have the latest firmware - install the previous firmware and it will solve problem. This is what i did

Other solution is to change the netstack autotune level (someone else can help with that)

Ah! That is something I have changed recently

I'll downgrade again and check it out. Thanks
