Hi

I am trying to send files via msn messenger to a mate, but it fails when i
send.
If i turn off the firewall i can recieve from him.
Using Win xp pro, and latest msn messenger, NAV2004.
Any ideas?
Am on a n/w pc, via a netgear switch to another pc that has the modem and
internet connection.

Ta In Advance

Matt

Your friend will also need to turn off his firewall or configure the ports.

To enable file transfers, enable both incoming and outgoing TCP connections
to the 6891-6900 range of TCP ports. This allows each sender to perform up
to 10 simultaneous file transfers. Note that if only TCP port 6891 is open,
users are only able to perform one file transfer at a time.

Thank-you. I found similar when I was searching post posting the message.
Now I have to ask is how to enable those ports in the XP firewall??

Set up a personal FTP server on your PC, then open port 21 to allow it
to communicate in/out..
