Annoying wireless problem
 

This problem occurs when downloading files

When downloading a large file, or several, my ICQ/AIM/MSN And yahoo cut off, then reconnect
They don't do it when i'm just surfing, only when downloading
I also get cut off from any internet based game

I never get the disconnected icon on the bottom right, as the files continue to download, but I still get cut off of the other programs

Any ideas what might cause this?
Again, i'm on a wireless connection.

Re: Annoying wireless problem
 

Sounds to me like it is being overloaded by the demand for a continuous use of bandwith ( hence why it is okay with normal stuff )

Could it possibly be a blocked port? or a firewall permission?

Nah i doubt it's bandwith
It does it intermittently when i'm just browsing
I'm not sure what it is

ADam, which router you got and stuff like that have you got some more info?? and have you setup the ports on your firewall.
