Getticg Sick of Trillian Fighting with my Router

Post by Einhander Sn0m4n »

I have a Linksys BEFSR41 (of which I never can remember the user/pass for; I've made a txt file on the hard drive for when I do get it). Trillian, being the buggy and fucking criminally-neglected-by-the-dev-team piece of bloody pus-infected worm-ridden feces it is, likes to randomly disconnect for stupid reasons and only offers very cryptic reasons like "Error while connecting (Error Code: 0). Disconnecting." or "General error when attempting service redirection on service 6." I've tried looking through the Trillian forums, but they're fucking worse than useless. Unplugging and replugging my router fixes the issues, but I'd much rather not have to break my housemates' internet access just to appease Trillian's cunt ass. :roll:

Help?

I'd suggest MIranda IM myself. It's open source, not a memory hog ::COUGHCOUGHTRILLIANCOUGHGOUGH::, and highly customizable.

If you're going to install GAIM, I highly recommend using the latest beta. They have done what I thought had been impossible and replaced the default soundset so that it doesn't shatter your eardrums with craptitude.

Also, I've been using it for weeks and have been fine.

Miranda IM + AimOSCAR for the win. :) Right now I have five IM windows open and its only using 3.4MB of memory, so yes Trillian is a fucking HOG by comparison.

Where did you get your router from?

And what version is it?
