Can't Receive Files

[Max]

Win XP SP1
Windows Messenger 4.7.2009
Win XP default Firewall all 13 ports are open (6891-6900,
1863,1503,5060)

I can send files but cannot receive files. What is the magic trick
port number? Thanks.

Greetings Max,

There is none, because, due to the way Messenger receives files, any problem receiving files
is most likely on the side of the person sending (when you receive, you connect to your
contact and download the file). This is probably due to either the contact sending having a
firewall that isn't allow Messenger to connect to the correct ports, or not using a router
with support for Messenger file transfer, or an UPnP enabled router and MSN Messenger 5.
