IM not working RESOLVED (DUPLICATE)
« on: January 04, 2008, 04:14:54 PM »
Similar to the problem described before, my sims can't connect to the ftp server. The icon shows full connectivity, with both computers lighted green. But every connection attempt gives back "Time out, disconnecting" message. Today, I had just one successful  transfer right after I started the sim. Since then I only got back my own bots or had the time-out message.

It used to work fine for me, but the last week or so had been horrible.

Pretty sure its the server.  Nothing changed.  I get the same thing, even with older versions...

Well, it kinda works today...

Anyway, I don't see much point in IM right now.  I have a sim that is completely isolated from other sims even in IM. None of the bots that come into my sim from other people are able to survive for long. And when my bots leave, they are doomed for certain death. The only thing that got transferred successfully was viruses.

We need a way to make sims more cohesive. A simple "click on user name and download settings" button would help a lot.

I'm resolving this duplicate for two reasons.  First, I already have it on my work list to move IM to a different server and address the connectivity issues.  Second, the download sim template feature request is also on my work list.  Resolving this helps me focus on the open bugs that are immediatly actionable as opposed to further out work items.
