| 321117 | 2005-02-03 09:51:00 | The XP firewall??? | gibler (49) | ||
| 321118 | 2005-02-03 21:24:00 | The XP firewall??? We did wonder about that. Were loath to turn any protection off at all. Adaware, Spybot & AVG. No other Firewall in at this time. Intend to have a serious look at the problem later today. Any other suggestions eagerly awaited. Thanks PJ |

This is v6.2, I wonder if it was an earlier version we had??? If this a common problem with MSN v6.2, perhaps v7.0 will fix it??? PJ |

| 321121 | 2005-02-04 07:24:00 | I think 7 is still in beta, and there are also 2 worms going around that'll hit MSN. So, for the time being I would use something else. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 321122 | 2005-02-04 07:29:00 | MSN Messenger requires UPnP enabled if you are using XP. Here is a link to enabling it. It may pay you to have a bit of a Google on the topic: www.tek-tips.com If you are using Win98, then there will be no audio and video. Ahem you are using XP :) |

| 321124 | 2005-02-04 08:27:00 | If the other end is running XP it should all work normally. Get rid of XP firewall. I use Sygate Personal Firewall as it doesn't give the problems I had with Zone Alarm & is easy to configure. If the other end is not running XP both ends have to use the audio & video buttons at the top of the screen. XP isn't compatible with anything other than XP as far as MSN Messenger goes. Don't use Windows Messenger either. | Phil B (648) | ||
