Greetings John

Are either of you using a router of some kind? If so, all the functionality you're referring
to will work behind the router if the router supports Universal Plug and Play (UPnP).
However, in Windows Messenger 4.7, File Transfer does not make use of UPnP, so this won't
work.

You can either upgrade to Windows Messenger 5, which support UPnP-enabled file transfer (but
you lose support for Add-Ins, so Hotmail support, Profiles, etc. are gone) here:

or use MSN Messenger 6.x instead:
