hi mate done some more reading and found the following reply to an exact same question as yours:


1) If you're using a third-party firewall (Sygate, ZoneAlarm, Norton, etc.)
set Messenger to "Permit All" or "Allow" type options in the firewall configuration.

2) If you're using a router, make sure you have the latest firmware from
your router manufacturer. As well, you might try setting your computers local IP into
the routers DMZ setting (see documentation on how to do this).

3) If you see the disconnection problem on a corporate network, the network
may be timing out your settings -- in this case, you might want to ask your system
administrator to adjust the corporate internet sharing solution/firewall (if possible).

4) Finally, this can also happen due to a lack of bandwidth. If you have
Kazaa, WinMX, GNUtella or some other file sharing-type application or something else that takes
considerable amounts of bandwidth, you may want to shut it down and see if that helps the
situation (even if you're using a high speed connection, these applications can use most of the
resources of your connection).


hope tis helps
