Netgear DG814 and File Transfer (Messenger)
I am having some difficulties with using MSN since getting my DG814.
First of all I noticed that I was unable to use Remote Assistance, which I have since fixed by upgrading the firmware version to 4.7 RC1 with UPnP support, great! Now I have noticed that file transfers won't work. I have scanned through the newsgroups and the only fix that I have found (which doesn't work) is to enable port forwarding for 6891-6990 for 127.0.0.1. is there anything else that I should be doing? I was also thinking about getting a webcam but have concerns that it will not work through MSN. Thanks in advance Steve

Greetings Steve,
Are you using Windows Messenger? If so, you'll need to use MSN Messenger 5, which is currently the only Messenger that has support for UPnP file transfer, you can find it he http://messenger.msn.com/download/do....asp?client=1. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Steve" wrote in message om...

Jonathan, what about Windows XP Messenger version 4.7 (2009)? Does that do
file transfer ok through a UPnP router. I am also keen to know if video and audio work properly with this version. Cheers Jonathan Jon "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" wrote in message ...

Hi Jon,
No, 4.x version of either MSN or Windows Messenger supports UPnP file transfer -- it was a new feature added in MSN Messenger 5. Voice/video does use UPnP however in all 4.x and 5.x versions. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Master Card" wrote in message ...

Replace 127.0.0.1 with the LAN ip of the pc youre running messenger on.

Basically if you find out what ports it uses and forward them all to your lan PC ip address ( 192.168.0.2 or whatever, use ipconfig to find it out) it should work. Cant give any more info than that as i hate MSN and use icq
