Recieving files from ICQ/AIM/MSN
Hello,
Everytime someone tries to send me a file through ICQ/AIM/MSN there is always a problem. It just won't work. It usually says something to the effect of "unable to recieve file." Any ideas? Thnx in advance |

the router is a hardware firewall, you will need to find out what port to open for file transfers.

I am going to copy Miz's post to tips and tricks, that is just too useful to let slide off the board.
