I use Wingaim included in the PortableApps package (Gaim2b5)and I can't use the 2b6 as that just crashed right after starting (I have seen others complaining about that happening when logging on to MSN, but I can't even configure it.) So, I found that Gaim was part of the PortableApps package and decided to give it a go. This is running off a USB-pendrive then. I have followed a guide to make sure the proper GTK+ environment is included with the pendrive so that Gaim can use it. Well, on to the problem: I get three error messages from MSN: read error, write error and failure to authenticate. If I hit this dialog "immediately" after it has been issued, I can connect again, but not for more than three minutes (preliminary record). >From Yahoo! I get Winsocket error #10054. I have a Motorola SB5101 Cable Modem to get Internet access (1500/400 Kilobit/s). I have a Philips SNB5600 router connected to this to get wireless. I run XP HOME SP2 on a Dell Inspiron 9400 with D2C 1.66 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 100 GB HDD, Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-Card. I run uTorrent, eMule, Gaim, [EMAIL PROTECTED] 9.10, BOINC (Intermittent transfers), Avast! (Virus database downloads) and would run LimeWire 4.12.11 if I could get the firewall off. Off course, all of these programs, if they all ran at once, would consume my bandwidth quite fast, and it would be RRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYY slow. I don't use them all at once. One of the P2P programs is always on, with a bandwidth restriction, and I would like to keep Gaim open all the time too, being able to connect to my (few) friends. Add to this the desire to help the world (BOINC) and searching the Web with Opera, spiking the connection every once in a while shouldn't really be a problem, right? Well, Gaim disconnects from MSN with either one of the three messages described regardless of whether Gaim is the sole (not counting Windows here) program using the connection, or if ALL of the listed programs are running and connecting to the Net. Where applicable, I have forwarded ports in my router for the programs mentioned. For Gaim, I have forwarded ports for all the different protocols (ICQ, MSN, Yahoo!) where I have found information on whether this is necessary or I have actually found information on a port to forward. Anyone got any ideas for improving this? (PS: Sorry for long post, but I try to give all relevant information to the best of my knowledge) ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.
