I've been a Pidgin user for several years and I am pretty sure I used to be able to successfully carry out file transfers in both directions with MSN Messenger/Live Messenger users. However, at some point file transfers over the MSN protocol seem to have stopped working.
Currently when either side (Pidgin at my end, Windows Live Messenger at the other end) tries to initiate a file transfer, nothing is seen at the other end. It looks like the file transfer notification just isn't getting through. Does anyone have file transfers working over MSN in either direction? If so, can you let me know your configuration please? I've just finished a testing session and nothing I tried made any difference. Brief details: I'm running Pidgin 2.10.4 on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 behind a NAT router. Windows firewall is configured to allow unlimited inward and outward access for Pidgin. I tested with UPnP both enabled and disabled on the router, I tested with the various options for MSN accounts in Pidgin (e.g. 'Use HTTP Method', 'Allow direct connections', etc.) both enabled and disabled, and set my correct external IP in Pidgin's Network settings. Nothing made any difference to MSN file transfers. Is it just me? Or am I missing something? Thanks to anyone who has any ideas. -- Mark Rousell PGP public key: http://www.signal100.com/markr/pgp Key ID: C9C5C162 _______________________________________________ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
