Hi

I am trying to send files via msn messenger to a mate, but it fails when i
send.
If i turn off the firewall i can recieve from him.
Using Win xp pro, and latest msn messenger, NAV2004.
Any ideas?
Am on a n/w pc, via a netgear switch to another pc that has the modem and
internet connection.

Ta In Advance

Matt

You need to enable the port. See the MSN Messenger help to find out which
