Vista - Messenger "signs out" when VPN is connected

Messenger "signs out" when VPN is connected

Whenever I establish a VPN connection, messenger pops up a message
saying I've been signed out because I have signed in on another
computer. I am using Version 2008, Build 8.5.1302.1018.
I'm not sure why it does this since my VPN connection is configured so
I am not using the remote gateway. Also, Messenger is signing out
even though I have not actually logged on to a remote computer and I
do not have Messenger configured on the remote computer anyway.
Is there a simple way to stop this behavior? I have tried changing
the VPN configuration to use the remote gateway and the problem stays
the same.

Thanks,
Dale

Greetings Dale,

I've heard this before but I use both a standard Windows PPTP VPN and SonicWALL VPN regularly
without the problem.

What VPN are you using?

The standard VPN built-in to XP.

Re: Messenger "signs out" when VPN is connected

If logging into the VPN changes your IP address on your main outbound route,
then the logon servers may see this as having logged on from a different
computer.

Re: Messenger "signs out" when VPN is connected

The "outbound" IP and gateway do not change since the VPN is
configured to use the local gateway.
