I can't sign on to my instant messenger. I also struggle with my LAN games with my brother.
I suspect they both manifestations of the same problem.
I'm running Adium, on Mac OSX, but it's not the application that's the problem, because I tried others and they didn't work either.
I have those verizon fiber-optic service, with the dynamic IP, and have had it for some time, so I don't imagine that's the problem, but I'm not really knowledgeable as to the nature of it, concerning drops.
I've determined that it allows me to sign on, but instantly signs back off far quicker than the software has time to react.
Can anyone think of a reason this might be happening? I'm not looking for a tech-support answer, 'cause I already tried all of that crap. Restart computer, unplug-replug etc. Done it.
Oh and one more thing:
