Hello. Me and the other half have just installed MSN Messenger 6.1. She has a three month contract in Wolverhampton 🙁
We have managed to get communication going by typing but now we would like to add a microphone to speak instead.
We can type, send files and play games. however we cannot:
1) share a file
2) She is able to offer me remote assistance but I am unable to connect to her machine to offer her assistance
3) She is able to ping my network IP sddress and gets a reply but I get a time out when trying to ping hers.She lives in rented accomodation with a LAN connection thus goes via a network. How is it that she can she ping me but I am unable to ping her? How do we get around this?
Any help really really appreciated. I would really be useful if we could share files too. Are there any logs generated when actions cannot be carried out?
So far I am chuffed to bits with messenger. never know that something like this was so easily available. 😀
TIA
Anoop
“Chuffed to bits”??? Is there medication for that? :p
Chances are she is behind a router which may not support some of the advanced features. But since that’s probably out of your control, how are you connected? Broadband or dial-up? And do you have a router or firewall? Those are the two biggest reasons why some advanced features like audio won’t work. The good news is that you can often configure your router or firewall to allow those advanced features, IF you have access to configure it. Probably true for you, but possibly not for your girlfriend.
hey…u problem is easy as hell….If u get timed out when u try to ping her then it definately means that shes behind a firewall and a router. And yeah….u can do one thing….if u r on the same domain…and network…then create a folder and share it….and then tell her to type your IP address..(//ip address)…in the address bar….Example…>> //192.168.2.200 and if shes able to see your shared folder the she can put things in it and voila….u got all the stuff…!!
ok??…I hope this solves the problem…
