I have a MAJOR problem with ICQ/AIM disconnecting every 5 minutes
 

I am having a very big problem today with both icq and aim disconnecting and reconnecting every 5 minutes or so. It stopped for an hour or so but now it is happening again. My partners computers/laptp have icq and aim as well but this is not happening to them so it is not our ISP.

Any idea anybody? would greatly appreciate the help!

you can find support at www.aim.com

i am not having any troubles, but I never do with trillian

that happens to me on a daily basis

my icq and aim is working just fine.

it means you have been spamming , this is your punishment from icq / aim :)

2 days that i'm having problem

install agian.:winkwink:

I have not been spamming nor will I ever do so but this is happening to a few of us? really strange

I doubt a re-install will do anything because it is happening to both icq and aim! :mad: :(

so you don't really use icq/aim ?? because it is doing this for me every 2 minutes now LOL

Happens to me too. some days worse than others. I have uninstalled aim before, been through their useless help, nothing helps. i simply have learned to live with it.

I've been noticing it happening as well. :(

ISP Connection been dropping?

Maybe your ip switched recently and the person who had it before you was spamming.

Change your ip or try using a proxy.

ISP is up and well... my partner is here working on ICQ/AIM and does not have any problems

I tried resetting my IP and this is what it said:

Windows IP Configuration

An error occurred while renewing interface Wireless Network Connection 4 : unabl
e to contact your DHCP server. Request has timed out.

sometimes its not as bad, but it does happen to me atleast a few times a day... normally aim reconnects itself and icq i just hit connect again. i have got used to it now, no way i can fix it.

you are used to re-connecting every 2 minutes? thats how often it is happening to me :mad:

Try downloading the newest version, or if you have the newest version, get an older one. Or check the connection on YOUR computer...

I will never ever upgrade my icq again because the last 2 times I did it just made things worse... their upgrades always suck! also what exactly on my connection shoiuld I be checking for ?


for example right now it stopped! both icq/aim work fine

Just heard on the news.....
New way for haxors to get into your computer...
AIM link.

Don't use AIM until they update later this week.
:2 cents:

Dude ive had this problem all fucking daY :(

maybe it's a trojan, do a routine scan with your av, check your registry keys, etc, all that shit
