Take the computer back to the store and get your money back,
Then buy a typewriter.

You will need to ensure that your router provides uPNP (Universal Plug and
Play) services. Enable it on your router. Restart Messenger and see how that
works.

By the way, Squire, I hate it when people give stupid answers to serious
questions.

My Apologies, Mike,

Phil, I was ready to slay the dragon with my bare hands, as I had just come
off a forum where many users were blaming XP for all their problems. Many
had never read the owners manual, much less the users manual.
It will not happen again,

It is the router causing the problem. I have the same problem with my router
(On Windows XP/98 and Linux).
