What about the person at the other end. I had a similar problem but only with one person and it turns out he had the XP firewall on without even knowing, :lick:

nah I always have the same problem.

I know whats causing it.

My network IP is 10.0.0.138 and when I send a file to someone Messenger is kind of a server at that moment.

So Messenger sends my IP to the person that I want to send a file to. But instead of sending real IP, it is sending my local IP.

That why I cant send files :(

I use the Yahoo IM for sending files. Works great with XP. ICQ and Messenger both suck unless your turn off the firewall on both ends or bore a hole through it. Pain in the ass if you ask me.

With MSN (Windows) Messenger (any version) you cannot send files if you are behind a network (10.0.0.xxx is not routable)...You can on the other hand recieve files and chat ofcource.

I've been able to send files with some versions of Windows and MSN messenger with my connection and the same firewall.

I dont have any router involved. And I can Send files with ICQ.

I heard that alot of people cant send files with Windows Messenger 4.6
