hey, wondering if anyone else has discovered my problem and knows how to solve it…every now and then i will not receive messages that are sent to me in a conversation, so i will get a msg after a few minutes of nothing, that makes no sense, as it refers to the msg i have missed! also, the ppl i talk to sometimes don’t get my msgs either, but it doesn’t say your msg could not be delivered to me or the person im talking to. As far as we both know the msgs have sent, the other person can copy and paste the missing msg! But as you can see this is very annoying lol any ideas be much appreciated!
It’s potentially related to having a firewall…
Could you give us more information about your system so we can better diagnose the problem please?
Such as:
– Any firewall running?
– Internet Connection TypeAnd anything else you feel relevant. The more you tell us, the better we can help. Thanks 🙂
Also, welcome to BigBlueBall!
thanks for replying! well i have i have a conexsant firewall in the router i get my connection through and the connection i have is broadband 512kbps ADSL i believe! i thought it may be to do with the firewall as this also happens to my sister on her computer and the connection is the same.
Do you think there is anyway to get round this without turning the firewall off completely?
Can you just give Messenger an “Allow” permission in the firewall?
I’ve never used the firewall you specify so I can’t advise on an exact method.
what you are going to have to do is go into the router settings itself because routers are in essence hardware firewalls… usually to get into the settings you open ur browser and type your router’s ip address… from there you should be given an option to allow or disable access to some ports or applications…
try this and let me know how it goesi’ve been into the firewall options etc and i can’t seem to find anywhere that will allow me to exclude messenger…i think it goes beyond my knowledge of computers unfortunately, i may have to get a friend round to help me lol but thanks to both of you for your help, this doesn’t appear to be a simple problem to fix!
