Strange connection issue

Hi,
I am currently encountering a connection issue with Live Messenger version
8.1. I can connect using my wireless connection, but when I use the
ethernet cable on the same LAN it will not work.

I have checked with Windows Firewall (I am running Vista Home Premium) and
the program is allowed through.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

Many thanks in advance,
Daniel.

Hi Daniel,

Do a Factory Reset for your Router. I have the same problem. Doing a
Factory Reset on the Router, solves the problem. Of course, you need to use
the Wired Computer to change the Wireless Settings, plus the Time on the
Router, back to what they were.

Hi

Many thanks for the reply. I actually have now sorted it out using the
instructions here:

I suppose I should have looked harder before I posted!

Thanks again,
Daniel.
