Ever since I put openSUSE 10.2 on this laptop, as far as I can remember, I am constantly being disconnected from MSN. I know people who have me on their list find this annoying, but the only solution is to disconnect and not use it. Not a very good solution, unless you’re lazy and don’t care about figuring out what’s causing it.
Yahoo doesn’t seem to be affected, so I would think that cancels out the wireless, or does it? Maybe the Yahoo server doesn’t detect this if I haven’t been offline for long. MSN might detect it right away. I’ve tried as many clients as I can find and it doesn’t matter which one I use, it still happens. So, that cancels out the clients. Or does it? Did Microsoft change something in their code?
I do know that when browsing, sometimes my wireless connection does go out and I have to wait just a little bit (one minute at the most) before I can continue. But I am never disconnected from Yahoo or MSN as far as I can see. But maybe there is a slight lag so the messenger doesn’t detect this right away. My signal is perfect, so that isn’t what is causing it.
