Sending files on MSN Messenger

[3D_CG]

MSN Messenger wont allow me to send files to other users.

It says that the connection is blocked. How do I resolve this???

 

[andy_rose]

my guess it is because of the xp firewall. try turning it off while sending files.

Ok I will give it a go

I have Norton Firewall still enabled so this should still protect my system?

firewalls block ports on your 'puter, preventing you from sending files via messenger.

you'll have to find out which port(s) are used when messenger sends files and then open those ports inside norton firewall.

i have similar probs running my internet connection through a linksys router (built-in firewall). great device, but sometimes annoying.
