XP Firewall and Windows Messenger

I can't figure out how to configure Windows firewall to allow Messenger to send files. The chat function works, but unless I disable the firewall I can't send a file.
Any help is appreciated.

Enable incoming echo request under the firewall settings. I THINK that's where the problem lies, but can't verify it.

I do know that if I disable WAN request on my router the same problem occurs. The two are essentiall the same.

re-messenger

Hey,
u have to allow messenger to act as a server to be able to send files. U R better off using a third party firewall like Zone Alarm pro it gives u better options u should be able to get round this by letting meesanger through do this in services in the control panel/administrative. HOPE THIS HELPS ALL THE BEST RODDERS
