I did think that my router or one of the switches was messin about so i ran a constant ping to the router and an internet server over a period of about an hour. Messenger dropped about 2-3 times. Pings reported 0% loss.

I have in the past had problems with uPNP on the router because the advertisement time was too long. This problem only occured when transfering files where direct connections between 2 computers were required. The router didnt seem to be at fault on this occasion as the other 4 users on the network had no problems.

I am using the same settings (ports and hotmail servers) in Amsn as M$ stuff and its working fine.
