Hi all... I'm on a cable connection, no firewall running,
using XP Pro, and I cannot for the life of me get a file
to send using Windows Messenger, Yahoo messenger, AIM,
anything... With WM, I get the standard "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."
I have no trouble receiving files using any of these
programs, but sending is always blocked by something. I
never had a problem before I bought my new PC with
Windows XP.. My W98 machine worked fine. The only way I
CAN send files to friend is using IRC, but that's too
complicated for some of my friends to use. I've tried
looking through every networking setting imaginable and
changing things, but nothing remedies the problem.
Any help?
