file transfer thru msn

[Ken]

I have exactly the same problem, and been down the same
route taking off Zone Alarm etc. I don't have a router or
anything like that just a standard dial up. Have been
going mad trying to get this to work!

Greetings Ken,

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.
