Hello,

Got a stock 15'' C2D MBP. iChat keeps disconnecting, however the internet stays connected.

Any idea?

Thanks!

Steve

What kind of chatting are you doing? Text, voice, or video?
What client are you connecting with (AIM, Bonjour, Jabber, etc.)?

Im doing basic text chatting while using AIM.

AIM typically sends very few keep-alive packets. Your router may be dropping the connection because of this. See http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Router_Slowdown for more reading. You may have to increase the "TCP timeout."

Guy, you have solved a problem that has been plaguing me since I installed Snow Leopard.

Thank you, you've saved my day.
