Hello!

I've developed a SkypeBot in two different languages for a customer and now they would like to put the both bots on one machine in WindowsXP. My solution is to create two userprofiles in Windows and on the first look, it WORKS!

But there will be a problem with two skype clients. After a few minutes the skype clients are offline. Strange, because the Skypeclient shows "I'm Online" but all contacts see the Skypeclient as offline.

After a call to one of the client, the client goes online for a few minutes.

Maybe somebody can give me an idea. Thanks for help in advance!!!

Not sure what your needs are?

Could you provide some detail on what this BOT does, it is only for Chats?

When you post to the Bot, the message will sent and shown on a websit and the Bot gives you a response if the post was successful or the user was unknown and so on. When the Bot gets a call he declined the call. For Authorization I've developed a special loop.

But I think the problem is Skype. I tested with my private Skype Account in the same network and the problem was the same like two bots at the same time. I think it's the network. Maybe some problems with the portsconfiguration?

Part of the problem of using a BOT for calls, would be if you are sharing the same Audio Sound Board for both copies of Skype running on a single computer and are trying to handle multple calls in progress.

You might need to use Virtual Audio Cable software or write your own audio drivers to fake out the input and output audio devices.

No, there won't be any calls because when a user calls one of the bots, the call will be declined with a busy status after the call event.

The main focus lies on the messaging but the problem is that the bots are going offline after a time.

I have never seen this, and I run multiple copies of Skype often for testing using "Run As" as well as some computers with a constant Skype client running as a system service, and other Skype clients on the same system.

Do you have any error messages or Event messages in your Windows Event logs?
