Default File Transfer 5.0.0482

Hi Jonathan,

I have WinXP Pro SP2 installed and have the latest version
of Messenger also (5.0.0482) and I am having trouble with
file transfer. I am using a NAT router but this is uPNP
enabled. The problem is when I try to send a file it just
hangs at the connecting stage then says about a "firewall
blocking...contact network administrator". I seem to be
able to receive files from other people who are using
Windoes Messenger but not from people using MSN Messenger.
Sending files to anybody also fails. I have tried opening
ports 6891-6900 on the router and disabling the SP2
firewall and it still doesn't work. As a last resort I put
my PC in the DMZ of the router and turned off the SP2
firewall but still no joy? Any help would be greatly
appreciated...from what I have read, and I see that
Windows Messenger 5 has uPNP file transfer, this should
just work even with the router firewall enabled....

Thanks, Richard.
