MSN messanger

[Baduri]

I am not able to send the files by MSN messanger, but I
am able to resieve it though. Also I can have a voice and
video conversation, but I can't send the any king of
files.

Greetings,

It's possible that Windows XP has turned on your
firewall (and therefore is blocking the
transfers). You can either shut down the firewall (see below), or just configure it. Click
Start, then click the Control Panel. If you're in category view click Network and Internet
connections then click Network Connections. Right click your connection, then click
Properties. For cable modem/broadband users, your connection will usually be called Local
Area Connection. For dialup, it should be the name of your Internet Service Provider. Click
the Advanced Tab, verify the Internet Connection Firewall is turned on (or turn it off here,
and don't bother configuring it). Then click the Settings tab. Click the add button and then
in the Service Settings, type in the following information. For Description enter MSN
Connection for Name or IP address enter 127.0.0.1, for
both External and Internal ports enter 1863. Verify TCP is selected and click OK. Now you
need to repeat the last step but changing the ports to 5060, 1503, 6891, 6892, 6893, 6894,
6895, 6896, 6897, 6898, 6899, 6900. Yes, 13 (including the first one) will now be selected.

Then click the 'Remote Desktop' entry (that was there before you started) and click Edit.
Enter 127.0.0.1 as the IP, and click OK (can't change anything else). Make sure all 14 (the
13 you added + Remote Desktop) connections are selected then click OK. For screenshots on
this procedure, see

Where does the IP 127.0.0.1 come from??..... My routers IP
address is totally different, would I use this instead?

127.0.0.1 is the internal network IP address of *all* computers. It is your local IP address and will work for you on your computer.
(But not for anyone else to reach you with.)
