Maybe you have an Antivirus software [like Symantec
Norton Internet Security] which can block your
connection. If so, go to the antivirus' control panel and
find "Rules". Then modify the rule for msnmsgr.exe or
winmsgr.exe [or similar] to "Permit all".
If you don't have an Antivirus software or the problem
persists ask your ISP if their server interdicts file
transfer.
