Hello,

greatly appreciated.

Here's the thread so far that died out:


Hello Jonathan,

Thanks for your suggestion.

Firewall is already off on both computers. I'm not sure
what you mean by "behind the router"--one computer
connects to the router through an ethernet cable, the
other wirelessly, and that's how they share files and send
messeges via Windows Messenger.

Greetings Elbert,

UPnP is required if you were application sharing with

someone on the Internet, but UPnP is
not required for to do it locally, behind the router.

You might want to try turning off the Internet Connection

Firewall, if it's been turned on --
click Start, then click the Control Panel. If you're in

category view click Network and
Internet connections then click Network Connections.

Right click your network/internet
connection, then click Properties. Click the Advanced

Tab, and verify that the Internet
Connection Firewall is unchecked.

I have two computers connected via a router. With

Windows
Messenger I can send messages between the two computers,
but I cannot share an application.

The router does not support UPnP. Could that be the
cause? If so, is there a workaround?

Thanks,

Elbert
