Hello all! Is there firewall issues with the MSN clients? Seems I cannot send to MSN users that is behind some firewalls. And sometimes MSN clients behind firewalls cannot send to me. One guy got the file sent but it stalled at 1 and 0 kb left, my jabber client got stuck on 0%. But he could receive files I sent. Also with iChat my users reported that the file sending feature was disabled. Lars patch was not applied into svn so I patched it manually now. The result is now that file sending is available, and the receiver gets a request for transfer to accept to, but the transfer just stalls. Seems no data gets sent. Kinda the same issues I have with firewalls. The receive was MSN 7.5 also behind a firewall. Jabber.no has ft socks5 on 8010 and is open in the firewall. Could there be more settings that has to be done on the server? Also, should Lars patch be added to SVN? Sorry for my bad error description, but I just did some quick random tests. Best regards Stian B. Barmen
