For a start i can imagine that this problem is actually
relatively easy too solve and i have missed something.
I currently run the latest available msn messenger on a
WIN XP Pro OP w/SP2.This problem has haunted me ever
since the connection was changed from dialup too
broadband. The issue is that when I am on msn people seem
too always recieve what i say but I dont always recieve
what they do. My MSN also randomly looses connection and
has too reconnect. As i use the WIN FIREWALL provided
with SP2 (no other firewalls are running). I have opened
the port 1863 for msn. On the site I came from too find
this forum it also recommended opening 14 other ports.
One of these however shares the same number as the Remote
Desktop so I cannot add it again. Wether or not this
information will help i do not know but my internet
connection runs through a router too make the connection.
Not any other computer. This router also has a firewall
but I believe that the ports have been opened.
Any help would be a gratefully appreciated.
Regards,
Damian
 
damian, i have the exact exact exact same problem as you.
i tried removing xp2 and the firewall, and also using msn
beta 7, and still i have the same problem. not connecting
+ not getting messages. i hate it. there are about 2-3
people who have the same problem. i got in touch with some
of them, some fo them fixed it. i am using a neatgear
wireless router that allows only my computers to connect,
without encryption. i have cable internet. anyway, let's
stay in touch, can you give any more details?
 
oh ya one more thing, my brothr uses the other computer
and he doesnt have this problem. that's it, just 2
computers
