I have Yahoo Instant Messenger for Mac OS X, version 2.5.3 build 1062. I have a G4 Titanium iBook, running Jaguar (OS X version 10.3.2). When I’m at work, Messenger keeps disconnecting. When it disconnects, I click Reconnect and it reconnects fine…but several minutes later it disconnects again. I am on a wireless connection at work, using a router. Why does this happen, and what can I do to stop it from happening? Your help is greatly appreciated for this annoying problem. I’ve tried searching this forum as well as several searches with different strings of words on Google to no avail.

January 13, 2004 at 11:01 pm #86125riorisaMemberthanks so much for the response. i don’t think this is it because i have been on my computer working/browsing, not idle, and i’ve seen it just disconnect on me. so frustrating!
January 13, 2004 at 11:17 pm #86121shifterMemberIt may have to do with your wireless router. If something is interfering with the signal for any amount of time, it may be enough to cause Yahoo to disconnect, without significantly affecting anything else, such as web-browsing.
January 13, 2004 at 11:34 pm #86124riorisaMemberoh i see. that makes sense. i guess i just have to live with it then. thank you very much for your help. (if anyone else has any ideas on how to stop this from happening please post!) 🙂
