MSN Messenger - Whiteboard w/Router

[BW]

Hi I'm having problems using the Whiteboard in MSN
messenger, whenever I attempt to start a whiteboard with
another online MSN user, it says "Your invitation was not
sent. Whiteboard needs the latest version of Windows
Messenger installed in order to work correctly on MSN
Messenger 6.0. Please go to the Windows Messenger update
site to install the latest version."

However I do have 6.0 installed, as does the 2nd party.
File transfers work fine. On a side note I'm behind a DI-
604 router, but I've opened up all the ports and tried as
well, but no luck.

Any ideas?? Thanks.

Greetings BW,

The Whiteboard feature requires Windows Messenger to be installed in order to function, just
having MSN Messenger (6) will not work. To solve the problem, download and install the
latest Windows Messenger from here:
