sending files using linksys router

[telly]

I'm unable to send files through my linksys nat router.
Receiving works fine, but i just cannot send.

I've looked and looked everywhere including

router is a linkys BEFSR41 firmware version 1.43.3

Hello Jonathan,

Thank you for this quick response. Is there yet a French

latest built of the MSN 5 series ? #0537 ?

Greetings Telly,

In order to send files through your router, you'll need

to first turn on Universal Plug and

Play (UPnP) in the router (go into the router's

configuration, choose the Password tab, and

turn the UPnP toggle on). Next, you'll need to upgrade

to a version of Messenger which

supports UPnP-enabled file transfer. There are two options for this:
Windows Messenger 5:

Messenger 6 does not replace your

current Windows Messenger (so you'll have two Messenger

clients if you install it). After

installing the new version of Messenger, login to the

new client as per normal and you should

Hi Telly,

The French version of Windows Messenger 5 should be out in September (not sure of the exact
date). The current build of MSN Messenger 6 is 6.0.0602. All MSN Messenger 5 and MSN
Messenger 6 versions support UPnP-enabled file transfer.

I installed MSN Messenger 6.0. I could not get files
transfer or voice working with my Linksys WRT54G (UPnP
enabled)-- I installed the latest firmware for my router
as well. I just can't get the voice working. I recently
upgraded to MSN 5.0 for XP and haven't tried it yet.

Hi Glenn,

I'm not quite sure if I understand, is file transfer working?
