xp windows messenger status problem

[surge]

I have windows messenger for xp , and iam having some problems wiht the status think, messenger seems to kick me off line and wont reconnect me until i goto change my status again, then it says "unable to change status please try later".

now I have my cable modem connecting to my pc via a linksys router thts has UPnP i have enabled this but iam still having problems. upnp is desabled on my xp Box

i can send and recieve files with no problem at all, so i dont know whats causing messenger to play up like this
i dont want to use voice or webcam with messenger

when i was using ADSL to get on line there was no problem with the status thing only sendign files, this might have been the adsl modem/router a Solwise sar703a showed my ports as "closed" on grc.com.

with the new router they are stelthed except ident and upnp ports.

hope some one can help, and thanks in avanced
