Are you using it at work?
If so you may have a Firewall or Proxy Server banning incoming transmissions like this.....similaly Norton Personal Firewall may do the same thing. Chris - MCP. "Tracy" wrote in message ... Hi Why can I send files but not receive them? Any help appreciated |

cant recive files
Greetings Tracy,
Due to the way Messenger receives files, any problem receiving files is most likely on the side of the person sending (when you receive, you connect to your contact and download the file). This is probably due to either the contact sending having a firewall that isn't allow Messenger to connect to the correct ports, or not using a router with support for Messenger file transfer, or an UPnP enabled router and MSN Messenger 5. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Tracy" wrote in message ...

Think you are right. I was 'chatting to someone else on windows messenger and they managed to send me a file just fine. Thanks "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" wrote in message ...
