Hi all.
Got a problem at work. We sometimes use IM to communicate with other guys in the office as we're spread over 3 floors so for simple stuff it's quicker.
A couple of weeks ago another workmate and I could no longer see each other on it. We are able to communicate with everyone else in the office, just not each other.
It worked fine before, and neither of us can think of any reason that would have changed, no known hardware/software changes etc.
We've tried switching between msn and pidgin. The result is the same on both, we both just appear offline to each other. Sending messages while offline still doesn't work. Also tried deleting them as a contact and re-adding them but still no luck. Also tried re-installing both msn and pidgin.
Any ideas what could be the problem?
(And no neither of us has blocked the other cos it's a real pain not having it!)
