Default Messenger sending files problem

Greetings Sergio,

Most likely what you need to do is configure the Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall for
Messenger file transfers. To do so, click Start, then All Programs, then Accessories, then
Communications, then Network Connections. Right-click your connection, then click
Properties. For cable modem/broadband users, your Internet connection will usually be called
Local Area Connection. For dialup, it should be the name of your Internet Service Provider.
Click the Advanced Tab, verify the Internet Connection Firewall is in fact turned on, and
then click the Settings tab. Click the Add button and then in the Service Settings, type in
the following:

For Description enter Messenger Connection, for Name or IP address enter 127.0.0.1, for both
External and Internal ports enter 6891. Verify TCP is selected and click OK. Now repeat the
last step but change the ports to 6892, 6893, 6894, 6895, 6896, 6897, 6898, 6899, 6900. Yes,
10 (including the first one) will now be selected. Then click OK. You should now be able to
send files.

However, if your clients were using MSN Messenger 6.x also, the file would just send through
the server, so if you continue to have problems, you might want to ask your contacts to
upgrade (especially those that you send files to regularly).
