MSN keeps disconnecting/reconnecting since router installed

Since changing my router from a Linksys wrt54gc to wrt54gx msn keeps disconnecting and the re logging in every few mins

the only other thing that has a problem is betfair poker which does the same

everything else seems fine

any ideas ?

Try updating the router's firmware.
If that doesn't work try disabling UPnP in your router and forwarding the MSN messenger ports manually.
 
thanks

f/w is at latest

will have a look around the router menus to try and do what you say

any idea what ports are involved ?
 
Do you have DHCP enabled?

If so make sure the lease time is not set to time out/expire every 5 mins or something. :)

looks like you had the right idea , went to try this but UPnP was already disabled so I enabled it , still early days but seems ok so far :)


thanks folks
 
my safecom cheapo router caused this, the only way I could stop it was by blocking the msn port thus forcing it to use http, no problem since then.
