MSN and ASL 5

Simon Shaw over 21 years ago

Has anyone noticed with ASL v 5.XXX that MSN clients seem to sign in and out very often?

A lot of my users are reporting this. I'm wondering if it's something to do with v5 or just MSN's servers...

Yes, me too!

I often see people as online, who aren't! Ghost... [;)]

I then found that the v5 IPS system classifies MSN login attempts as highest priority level!!!

But it doesn't block it...

MSN use IE settings so i think you must see if you settings for ex httpproxy is okey or not.

I'm using Miranda.

This works fine with HTTPS proxying. Except the described probs. But with SOCKS proxy it's the same!

Proxy settings are OK.

This seems to be a definite issue with v5. Possibly with the HTTP proxy?

Check if you have a "keep-alive" option in your messenger. This helped me. I also have an auto-reconnect-plugin for miranda, that checks if MSN disconnects automaticly reconnects!

Also check the Messenger Status!

Its def a ASL v5 problem.

I switched back to v4 for a bit and the problem stopped.

I am having the same problems with MSN messenger. Either directly used without a proxy, or with a http, https, socks 4, socks5 proxy. I lose connection every few minutes. Is there any word of a solution, or a work around, or anything?

Did you try the "keep connection alive" feature?
I'm now using 5.023 ASL and am tunneling MSN through the SOCKS5 proxy using the Miranda Messenger Tool. Works fine with me now. Also tried MSN 6.1: worked!
