Different instances of W/w Msger running with same credent..

Hi

I have two machines, I m running the Windows Messenger on both of these with
same Username/Password at the same time.

Is it a feature?? coz in general the any messenger like yahoo will log you
off from the previous instance if you try to login on another machine.

Even if this is the case, if someone pings me, to which instance will the
message get delivered??

thanks!

Greetings Rohini,

This actually isn't possible (at least the way you've described it), the .NET Messenger
Service allows only login instance per user (so you'd get signed off the other "client" if
you were to login again).

Are you sure you're using the same Passport and they're both actually "logged in" and
working?
