Sharing

MSN Messenger Sharing simply does not seem to work most
of the time. Is it just "overload" or there is some other
trick that could make it work?

Greetings,

Which "Sharing" are you referring to? Nearly all features of Messenger actually require a
direct connection (with the exception of text-based chatting, file transfer and Webcam in and
with MSN Messenger 6.x clients). As such, what's occuring is you're unable to establish a
direct connection between you and your contact -- there is no 'server' in place for the
feature to be "overloaded".

Thank you for the prompt respanse. The function we seem
to have problems with: "Start application sharing". The
Application sharing panel appears in the upper left hand
corner of the screen, first it is blank for awhile, then
it comes to the stage of "Waiting..." and there it stays.
Let me add that we have had several successful
application sharing sessions with this contact of mine in
the past. We've noticed this difficulty only in the past
few weeks.
Thanks again.
