Application Sharing Problem

[Sid Meka]

Hello,
I'm using MSN Messenger 6.0 on XP.
I'm trying to use the Application Sharing / Whiteboard
feature with my co-worker. When I launch the feature it
says "connecting" and just hangs there for a while. After
about 2 minutes or so it give me an error message to the
effect, the remote computer is having problems to connect
with you (not exact verbiage).

I'm running the ICF firewall on XP and my router is UNP
enabled. The other person is behind a router.

Please help.

Thanks in advance.
-Sid

Greetings Sid,

Have you tried turning off the ICF? 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.
