Windows Messenger File Transfer

[Hipster Doofus]

How do you allow messenger to transfer files? Me & a friend are trying but it refuses to co-operate both ends.

Firewall?

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Don't know. It's stuffed for now anyways. I turned off my firewall & my friend is gone. Whether it was that or he had to go I don't know. I'll have to try again another time.

Have to see what the go is when I reboot.

If either of you have routers, you will need to enable DMZ on them to allow packets to pass through.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Nope no routers. It might be service that I have disabled.

las time i cant really transfer any files btw my fren and i...
but my fren can transfer with other ppl successfully...

after reformat... whenever services that i think will affect the messenger transfer... i did not disable it... now i can transfer files with my frens oredi...
how bout the workstation or webclient services...?

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Yeah I think that's it Bretenn. Some service that I turned off is needed for windows messenger. (I haven't used messenger in a long time) Next time he is online I'll try turning them back on one at a time till I get the right one.
Thanx all.
