Windows Vista has amazing new generation TCP/IP stack, it allows automatic tuning for your connection relying on available bandwidth and other factors/parameters of your network connection. There is also many other options regarding internet like saving webpages or important connectionpackets for next usage. And that's clearly shown in your issue, you can easily login your IM software as smart windows TCP/IP stack recognized the static IP of IM servers for quick smart and dircet connection without needing to determine the hostname then convert it to it's IP via your ISP DNS server which might have sevre issues with. I can also add the problem is related "Offline Files" found in Control Panel, you can adjust it by increasing limit of offline files in Disk Usage tab and then you can enable it working by checking "On slow connections, automatically work offline" and apply it. If you already using this and the problem still exist, try to uncheck it. If the problem still exist, let me in the know so that we find out another solution.

On my machine the Network tab for Offline File is disabled so I'm not able to check "On slow connections, automatically work offline". Any idea why?

I am having the same issue as well. And I think that it causes my cpu to go to 100% every 5 minutes. Very annoying - any way to change this?
