Re: Signing out



Greetings,

Windows Messenger uses an older version of the Messenger protocol which doesn't keep the
connection as active as MSN Messenger does. As such, if you're being connected through any
proxy or something similar (common in enterprise environments), it will disconnect on its
own. Unfortunately there isn't much you can do about it.
