Thread: Question with messenger on networks.

  1. #1

    Question with messenger on networks.

    I've recently got my house networked with a linksys wireless router, and everything is working fine. However, when I use aMSN on my Linux box, and sign out, I still get messages on my other windows xp pro computer even though I'm totally signed off at both locations. What's up with this? Why is it doing that? Thanks.
