http://msmvps.com/blogs/shinder/archive/2004/04/27/5554.aspxOne of the most common problems seen on the Web boards and mailing lists are Instant Messenger related issues. How do you get them to work? How do you make them stop working? My solution is to remove the dreaded IM'ers from the users machines :-) HoweverenCommunityServer 2008.5 SP2 (Build: 40407.4157)http://msmvps.com/blogs/shinder/archive/2004/04/27/5554.aspx#75748Wed, 16 Nov 2005 14:42:00 GMTd67277c4-116b-43f1-b688-e9ef184ea916:75748shinderI have been having problems with my instant messenger signing off and back on again all the time.

Ever since, MSN Messenger only periodically logs in and only then when I go to Tools/Options/Connections/Advanced Settings and click on the Test TCP Connections button. <br> <br>Every time that test says it successfully connected, but Messenger may not actually sign in. <br> <br>I see this on both computers I own. <br> <br>Messenger is now the only app I have this frustrating problem with. Ameritrade's quote streamer was also acting up (they acknowledged the problem to me), but they may have finally fixed it because it seems to be working fine as of today. <br> <br>I was not having this problem with NIS 2004, so it only cropped up in the new version. I have explicitly granted a range of IP addresses in the firewall settings to coincide with those used by Messenger, but to no avail. <br> <br>Any ideas?<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=44937" width="1" height="1">http://msmvps.com/blogs/shinder/archive/2004/04/27/5554.aspx#41860Wed, 13 Apr 2005 04:32:00 GMTd67277c4-116b-43f1-b688-e9ef184ea916:41860TrackBack^_^,Pretty Good!<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=41860" width="1" height="1">http://msmvps.com/blogs/shinder/archive/2004/04/27/5554.aspx#39958Mon, 28 Mar 2005 10:53:00 GMTd67277c4-116b-43f1-b688-e9ef184ea916:39958shinderhello <br> <br>whenever i try to talk on msn messenger in an instant message box the person tryin 2 recieve what i say cannot see what i am typin <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=39958" width="1" height="1">http://msmvps.com/blogs/shinder/archive/2004/04/27/5554.aspx#37701Sun, 06 Mar 2005 08:53:00 GMTd67277c4-116b-43f1-b688-e9ef184ea916:37701shinderDear Sir, <br> <br>I am using isa server but through isa server i can not login to msn and yahoo messanger. <br>So please advise me what i have to do. <br> <br>Thanking you <br> <br>Nadeem<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=37701" width="1" height="1">http://msmvps.com/blogs/shinder/archive/2004/04/27/5554.aspx#37189Mon, 28 Feb 2005 13:28:00 GMTd67277c4-116b-43f1-b688-e9ef184ea916:37189shinderall of my emoticons have stopped working<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://msmvps.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=37189" width="1" height="1">http://msmvps.com/blogs/shinder/archive/2004/04/27/5554.aspx#35389Wed, 09 Feb 2005 05:07:00 GMTd67277c4-116b-43f1-b688-e9ef184ea916:35389shinderI have been having problems logging onto Aim, Gaim.
