windows messenger

[Paul]

Hi
I have windows messenger and was chatting to a friend of mine and tried to
send her a photo. After she accepted the file I got the message :
We could not send this file because the connection is blocked. Please
contact your network administrator or Internet service provider; they may be
able to enable file transfers.
Is there any way of fixing this or do I have to contact Freeserve?

Do you and/or your friend have a firewall? If so you need to drop it to send a
file, but don't forget to restart it again. There may be a way of configuring
your firewall to allow windows messenger greater access, and if someone knows
how I would appreciate your replies, as I too have the same problem, and it's a
bit annoying.
