 I'm fairly certain that Pidgin is not causing this to happen, this being
 periodically my wireless internet connection is dropped.  However, I have
 googled this and other Pidgin errors (Server closed connection) and I
 cannot find anything to help me fix this.  I'm hoping someone just has the
 knowledge to know whats going on and can help me.  Some background:  I
 believe this started to happen after I installed the new AIM (6.5)  I am
 running Vista Ultimate 32 bit and after I installed this the network and
 sharing center would freeze on open and there was always a red "x"
 covering the network icon (error message read: Server Execution Failed) in
 the task tray even though i was connected to the internet.  I did the
 following to fix this:  Right clicked My computer, clicked manage, under
 System Tools, expanded Local Users and groups, click on groups, right
 clicked Administrators, Added to Group, and added Local Service so that
 NT/Local Authority was displayed in the Administrators Members tab.  This
 solved the red x problem but I was still dropping the connection.

 Since this, I have unchecked (because M$ said so) the "allow the computer
 to turn off the device to save power" (even thought his happens while I'm
 plugged in).  I have also updated the firmware to my wireless router and
 updated the drivers for my wireless network card but to no avail.  The
 following is the output from the debug window on Pidgin disconnect.  Does
 anyone have any other ideas?
