Windows Msgr 5 can only send files to same?!!!

Posted: 08-18-2003, 07:25 PM
Using Windows Messenger 5.0 and a UPnP NAT, 5.0 seems to only be able to
send to other Windows Messenger 5.0 users, and NOT to 4.7 nor Trillian users
anymore (4.7 sent just fine). Any workaround would be highly appreciated
otherwise future Messenger junk is not an option. lol

I sent a file yesterday from 5.0 to a friend using 4.7. It was
the only thing that did work, since we haven't managed to sort
out voice or video yet. (We're both fairly new to this lark.)

Greetings,

You can use Windows Messenger 5 to send to users using all versions (even sending to users
using MSN Messenger 3.x will work), with or without a UPnP NAT. It's possible whoever you
were sending to using an older version had an incorrectly set up firewall, etc.
