Cannot send files
Hi all... I'm on a cable connection, no firewall running,
using XP Pro, and I cannot for the life of me get a file to send using Windows Messenger, Yahoo messenger, AIM, anything... With WM, I get the standard "We could not send this file because the connection is blocked. Please contact your network administrator or Internet service provider; they may be able to enable file transfers." I have no trouble receiving files using any of these programs, but sending is always blocked by something. I never had a problem before I bought my new PC with Windows XP.. My W98 machine worked fine. The only way I CAN send files to friend is using IRC, but that's too complicated for some of my friends to use. I've tried looking through every networking setting imaginable and changing things, but nothing remedies the problem. Any help? |

Cannot send files
Hello John,
try activating TCP port 6891 to 6900 for your Network Services. This can be located by changing the settings (Properties) for your network connection. Click on the Security tab to find the Advanced button. Regards, Mark Bryski www.klinix.com "John P" wrote in message ... Hi all...
