Internet fails when connecting...

Post by spook »

Whenever I try to connect to any of my accounts on Adium, I lose my internet connection, and in order to get it back, I have to turn off my router, unplug it, plug it back in, and turn it back on. It's been doing this for about a week. I've tried re-downloading Adium, and using a fresh set of preferences, but the problem still persists. Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening, or how I can fix it? :sad:

Does it only happen with Adium?
Did you try not using Adium a full day (but using other applications)
Does it happen if you have the official client (you could try that)
Does the connection fall exactly when you start Adium or some short time afterwards?
Did you try starting your adium offline (see a topic with secret keyboard shortcuts) and check internet and then take adium online?
Is there a message in your console? (open console, clear the screen, start adium, check console)

Can't think of other questions that might be helpfull.

Well, I've been able to connect to all of my other accounts when I stop MSN from connecting when I open Adium, so I figure that it's causing the problem. I don't know why MSN won't connect though. :???:

Edit: I solved the problem. I was looking at another topic where MSN wouldn't connect, the one where they checked the "connect via HTTP" box, and so I tried that, and it worked.
