WLM & Wireless Network Connection

Hi,

Every time I successfully sign in to Windows Live Messenger(WLM), I am
disconnected from my wirless network. I have confirmed that the connection
remains established when I am not signed in to WLM.

This first happened as a one off occurrance after I had downloaded an update
of "Live Messenger! Plus", but did not re-occur upon a restart of my
machine. The problem has since begun occurring again and I can't keep a
connection to my network once signed in successfully to WLM.

I have tried the following as an attempt to solve the problem, but to no
avail:

Uninstall Live Messenger! Plus
Uninstall Windows Live Messenger, then re-install Windows Live Messenger

I have confirmed that WLM is listed as an exception in my Firewall.

This sometimes doesn't happen, only today my connection remained in-tact for
hours whilst signed in to WLM. I would very much like to solve this issue
ASAP, I am going to run a virus, spyware, and malware scan after posting
this so will update when results are through, however any suggestions in the
mean time would be helpful

Thanks,

Shane

I have the same problem, each time I log in with in a few minutes WLM
causing my wireless network to fail.

I uninstalled WLM and reinstalled it, each time I click on the WLM program
it will not open.

I have an HP pavilion with windows Vista,

can anyone help?

Where are you clicking the program? I.e. Start menu, desktop icon etc.

UPDATE: It seems to me as though my problem is occurring during the evening
so I am completely puzzled as to why my connection knocks out when I sign in
to msn. Firewall isn't restricting anything and nor are any router settings.

I may have mentioned previously that there is another person who uses a
laptop to connect to the same wireless network as I.
It appears to be that I am signed in to WLM and I am disconnected from my
network when this other user is connected to the network. It only happens
with WLM, if I have closed WLM then re-connect to the network, I remain
connected.

This is really puzzling me, and Microsoft help has only referred me to Live
support, which I can't seem to find an e-mail to contact.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Shane
