Topic: Losing Wireless connection.

[JK]

It appears to be skype and comodo firewall together which has caused my problems.

There are other free firewalls, JK.  I wouldn't usually recommend it, but Zone Alarm might be worth a try, to see if it works better with Skype.  Do you have the latest version of Comodo, and are you sure it's configured correctly?  Just one other thing, you haven't got Windows Firewall on as well, have you?  If so, it's best to switch it off, as two firewalls running together isn't generally advisable.

Hi Simon
If I allow skype permission, with comodo then close skype, I appear not to have the wireless disconnection??
Cannot understand why?

[Simon]

Sorry, so you're saying that you only get disconnection problems with Skype running?  I don't think I can help, as I don't actually use either Skype or Comodo, but just wanted to clarify the issue.  You'll have to excuse my ignorance, but does Skype connect to the phone line?  Anything that's connected to your phone line, in addition to your usual phone connection and your broadband, has the potential to cause problems.  If Skype connects to your phone line, have you checked that your ADSL microfilter is connected correctly, and that Skype passes through it?
