Title: Aim is messing up server
Post by: maxpower on October 17, 2007, 08:04:16 PM

ok my friend has this server he is letting me use but when he goes on aim on his computer it messes the servers running on the server. No one can connect to the servers when he is on aim it like messes the router up or some crap. The server is running Windows Server 2003 and he has XP. he tried using trillian and gaim but no luck.

Sounds like aim is raping his CPU which causes the server to go down.

On a side note this should probably be in Help & Support or the server section.

Why would it cause the server to block people from connecting though
The server and the computer with aim are 2 different computers they arent on the same one

I suppose it is possible that the aim and the server may be using the same ports and they are having a conflict and aim is running correctly and the server isn't.
