View Full Version : File transfers blocked

After upgrading to XP, I've no longer been able to
transfer files via Messenger or add an account with MSN
Explorer.

I'm using McAfee Firewall and AdSubtract, which acts as a
proxy server. The computer is connected to a QWest DSL
line via a Netgear MA101 wireless device.

AdSubtract's Proxy setting is "Use next-hop HTTP proxy
server."

Under 98 & ME, McAfee's list of items communicating would
include a Netgear entry. Now it lists "Generic Host
Services . . .." which is svchost.exe. That is set
to "fully allow."

Under Generic Host are two lines: Me [ephemeral]-
204.147.80.5[DNS] and Me [ephemeral]-206.81.192.1[DNS]
Both are set to communicate outbound if the protocol is
UDP/IP and the remote port is 53,67, or 1024-5000.

When I look at McAfee's warning log, it is blocking
incoming UDPs and outgoing TCPs and lists the network
adapter as "WAN Miniport (IP).

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
