to any computer programmers,,,please help...


My question is this...

I use windows live messenger,and check some email with it,

and even when I'm active inside th mailbox...

it will disconnect,and th error will say...

my IP address could not be resolved...WHY???

what is it's problem,and how do I fix it???

ummm, go get a butter knife and smack it with the handle.... it worked
on my garbage disposal

sorry Mikey, I couldn't help myself..
lmao

well I thought of using it as a boat anchor,
but that might scare off th fish!!!

smack it twice, kick it once, if that dont fix it you'll feel better.

use yahoo instead

Good Advice BSD! Michael I dropped WLM,way to many bugs and unstable.I
run Yahoo IM also.It's much more solid and it's got lots of features.The
newest ver.is very HOT!Cybear

thanx y'all but yahoo boggs my system...now what???
boat anchor time???

Hummm when u download yahoo IM watch closely do not let it download all
the extras that it will automatic and it will not bogg down your system
but first make sure you have all the old yahoo deleted from your system
even go to search sometimes it picks up file that were not deleted the
first time if you only download what is needed for the IM only it will
not bogg down other wise it downloads a whole bunch of stuff you don't
even need. But have to click to chose what to download.

thanx for all th help y'alls,,,
but the problem was a loose nut behind the keyboard...ME...lol..

I forgot to clear my history...
old stuff kept trying to load up...fixed it now though...M.

Humm loose nut behind the keyboard ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I will leave that
one alone hard to do but I will lmao

michael1313 is windows live messenger the only time you have that
problem? I like windows live yahoo tries desperately to shove that damn
yahoo toolbar down your throat. Maybe you need to reinstall it or try
doing a repair through add and remove programs if that doesn't work try
contacting msn tech support they may have an answer for you.

I use both windows live messenger as well as yahoo here. I never have an
issue with my IP address do to those programs. However I also use my own
email web host as well. It could be a firewall (either software or
hardware) setting you need to allow the traffic to pass. Next time that
you get that error go to start menu click on run type in cmd hit enter,
A DOS window will open type in IPCONFIG /release then hit enter
then tpe in IPCONFIG / renew then hit enter

this should assign you a new IP address on your network. try getting
your mail again if that doesnt work then it is most likely either the
firewall built into windows sp2 or the firewall built into your router
unless you have a third party firewall as well.

yeah !!!! what Kevin said !!!

Hello Roses how are you tonight?

hey Kevin...man that worked great!!!
windows firewall was interfierring with my antivirus firewall,so I shut
one of them down...
clearing my history helped too!!

thanx Y'all!!!

Good Kevin and you? I didn't mean to mess up your answer so I emailed M,
I didn't want him to loose any of your input.
I was backing you up !

No problem mike anytime. I did network administration for about 10-12
years commercially and at home. I also have been doing web design and
development the past few years pretty intensively. When I saw the
quality of your responses I thought you deserved a better response then
that so I just told you how I would deal with it.



Roses: I saw that but you know I am very familiar with pc issues from
my past history. I am sure you emailing him was a good thing as based on
his previous responses he may not have solved the issue.

thanx Kevin...

yeyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!

Does it happen if you read your mail via Outlook or Outlook Express ?
