sending files using linksys router
Greetings Telly,
In order to send files through your router, you'll need to first turn on Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) in the router (go into the router's configuration, choose the Password tab, and turn the UPnP toggle on). Next, you'll need to upgrade to a version of Messenger which supports UPnP-enabled file transfer. There are two options for this: Windows Messenger 5: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/messenger/download.asp or MSN Messenger 6: http://messenger.msn.com/Download Although you can install either, please note that MSN Messenger 6 does not replace your current Windows Messenger (so you'll have two Messenger clients if you install it). After installing the new version of Messenger, login to the new client as per normal and you should be able to send files. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "telly" wrote in message ...

Hello Jonathan,
Thank you for this quick response. Is there yet a French release of Windows Messenger 5 ? Or if not, what is the latest built of the MSN 5 series ? #0537 ? -----Original Message----- Greetings Telly, In order to send files through your router, you'll need to first turn on Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) in the router (go into the router's configuration, choose the Password tab, and turn the UPnP toggle on).

Hi Telly,
The French version of Windows Messenger 5 should be out in September (not sure of the exact date). The current build of MSN Messenger 6 is 6.0.0602. All MSN Messenger 5 and MSN Messenger 6 versions support UPnP-enabled file transfer. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Telly" wrote in message ...

sending files using linksys router
I installed MSN Messenger 6.0. I could not get files
transfer or voice working with my Linksys WRT54G (UPnP enabled)-- I installed the latest firmware for my router as well. I just can't get the voice working. I recently upgraded to MSN 5.0 for XP and haven't tried it yet.
