All right, I'm having this problem with Windows Messenger. I seem to be unable to have one of these voice conversations, share files, etc., for some unknown reason. Am I behind a firewall? I don't know, must likely, but don't a firewall that I control myself, i.e. an ISP firewall directed at the network as a whole. So I was wondering what could be my problem, then. How can I establish a voice conversation and start exchanging files, even though I'm seemingly behind somekind of firewall or NAT device? I bugs me, really, because it's so ridiculous that I'm being rejected because of a silly firewall or whatever it is.
I would like to know how I can solve this, because I know it can be solved, WITHOUT screwing up settings that make sure my internet connection isn't impaired in any way. Basically: I want to keep my internet connection, AND get a solution to this problem.
I'm using Windows XP, by the way, which should make an overall difference, as far as I know.
Windows XP, overall, has disappointed me in a way, because one day my network just disappeared from the screen, while still being in physical existance, of course. Absurd, really - I didn't touch anything. I think they've changed some things, regarding network, and can you believe it, for some reason they're hiding Netmeeting!
Any input appreciated.
