[QUOTE="MrChris, post: 346576, member: 7584"] Hey Steve, welcome to the forums! I'm not 100% certain but I think your problems might be down to either or both of the following: MSN Messenger:Mac - This may not be anything to do with your set-up or your connection, it might simply be the service acting up. I know from past experience that sometimes messenger will just kick off and throw me an error message saying I have been disconnected due to the service being temporarily unavailable etc. I'm not positive but I would be willing to factor this in as a possible cause to your problem. As for Limewire and iChat (and this could be another possibility for Messenger) Have you checked to see if all the necessary ports are open on the router? Sometimes programs can act up if certain ports they like to sue are closed or restricted in some way. Hope this helps Regards, Chris :mac: [/QUOTE]
