Problems with MSN disconnecting

RouterOS General
1

Hi all,

I’m being crazy, my customers are with problems with the connections of MSN that disconnects and reconnects all time.

What can I do to solve this problem???

I tested this by my self. If I use my MSN in my office I don’t have problems, but if I use my MSN throught a wireless connection (in my house for example) I have problems with MSN, that disconnects all time.

I need to solve this because I’ve some customers who are wanting to cancel the contract with my company due to this problem.

While I’m wiriting this message my MSN messager disconnects 5 times.

I need help please!

Are your customers using WinXP and 802.11 cards to connect to the wireless network?

If so, once they are connected, disable WinXP’s WZC (Wireless Zero Configuration).

You can get a load of information on WinXP problems with WiFi connections with a search engine.

We had to abondon PPPoE on our access points since WinXP’s WZC would, by default, try to connect to other networks WAY too often and the PPPoE connection would be reset, dropping all connections going across the PPPoE link. Customers were NOT happy at all.

Yes I’m using PCI cards on windows xp, but I’ve the same problem on customers that are using access points instead of pci cards.

How can I disable the WZC???

For default I uncheck the option in Properties of Wireless conection on Windows… are there another way to resolve this problem???
