Messenger needs a connection Wizard!

[Charles Tomaras]

Just thinking out loud, but it seems from the large number of people with
video, voice, and file transfer issues with Messenger that MS or someone
else needs to write a Messenger Connection Wizard. At the very least we need
a utility that can scan one's network connections, security settings and
firewall and provide a report outlining the steps needed for that particular
setup to enable full use of Messenger's communication options.

Hi Charles,

No, this isn't a MSN thing.
