How do file transfers using Windows Messenger relate to firewall
blocking?
I recently purchased a new laptop with XP Pro. After the Windows Update
ran, I have Windows Messenger 4.7, NetMeeting 3.01 and IE 6.0. I was
trying out the capabilities of Windows Messenger's video and audio
communications with a friend on a similar machine while at an internet
cafe.
Although the chat board works fine and video would transfer, we had
problems exchanging files. On a file transfer, Windows Messenger first
gave a firewall block message. We then both disabled our Windows
Firewalls.
Then Windows Messenger gave an error message that the content was not
"secure" and would not deposit the received file in my
documents-downloads folder.
Any tips would be appreciated.
I would like to get Windows Messenger and NetMeeting to work in a mode
with chat, video, file transfer, and the whiteboard working from a
public connection.

P.S. - Should I install WM 5.1 - the current level?
