Lost messages...

I have a PC running XP with the latest updates applied with WLM version 2009
(build 14.0.8064.206) that is having a problem with lost messages. There is
no error message or anything when this happens. The lost messages are being
sent to several different people and being received from several different
people (or tried to receive).

This is a home user behind a Belkin router (not a LinkSys).

This was working fine up until a month or so ago then random messages
started getting dropped.

Can anyone offer any suggestion on what this might be and how we can fix it?
Thanks in advance on any help you can provide!

Greetings Calvin,

Just for interest, can you provide a few samples of the lost messages? Then various people
here can test if it happens everywhere.

Thanks for your reply. I am sorry but I don't understand what you are asking
for. There are no template messages or anything just 2 users/people sending
IMs back and forth.

Can some one please help me with this issue? Or help me troubleshoot it?

thanks!

I can provide a sample because I have recently started having the same
problem. About 10% of the messages I send do not arrive at the other end. An
example of one such message:

"Hey"

This problem started when I moved my work computer, which I use windows live
messenger on, from work to my home office.
