renakuajo Posted January 24, 2002 Posted January 24, 2002 I have the 3 above IM....I cant send files or receive.....any ideas???Athlon 800256XP proZone Alarm ProI did some tweakin in services......is there anything in services that if i disable prevent me of sending or receiving files???í use this guide but i not did everything it sayshttp://www.blkviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm
Drewdatrip Posted January 24, 2002 Posted January 24, 2002 Im positive that Zone Alarm is blocking it. To test this close it and start up trillian...see if you can chat. Then close trillian and start Zone up again, go into the rules and allow trillian(or any other chat program) to gain access(just like you did with IE or any other application that uses the net).If you cannot gain access with out Zone running state futher description of the problem/situation.:beer-drew
renakuajo Posted January 24, 2002 Author Posted January 24, 2002 Drewdatripi can chat, the problem is sending and receiving files......the 3 IM are allowed to access the internet......any tips?
Drewdatrip Posted January 24, 2002 Posted January 24, 2002 I would scrap Zone alarm and use a firewall called Tiny..Get it here-http://www.tinysoftware.com . I have found it to be the best firewall program out there, plus it does not interfer with any chat funtions.-drew
renakuajo Posted January 24, 2002 Author Posted January 24, 2002 mmmmmmmm.............dont know, i like za......but i will check it out
XPerties Posted January 24, 2002 Posted January 24, 2002 Is XP firewall turned off? XP firewall blocks you from sending and recieving files even through MSN Messanger, haha, go figure.-Xperties
Drewdatrip Posted January 24, 2002 Posted January 24, 2002 In order to solve this problem you must give a description of you situation. For example, Are you on a Network? DSL?Cable?Dail-up?Software installed? XP updates? etc. This way we can understand exactly way you are having this problem. -drew
renakuajo Posted January 24, 2002 Author Posted January 24, 2002 ok sorry for miss thatDSLno sharing my internet connectionhave all the xp updatessoftware???ICQTrillianYahoo MessengerWin MessengerZA PRO
EcPercy Posted January 24, 2002 Posted January 24, 2002 i only use trillian and am running ZA Pro and it lets me use file transfer any time i want... so i assume its safe to say that the forewall is not the problem, although it could be that either the people that you are trying to transfer are also behind a firewall...can't transfer if both parties are behind firewalls... and i have a few friends living in Europe...and for some odd reason i can't transfer to them at all...
renakuajo Posted January 25, 2002 Author Posted January 25, 2002 i'm thinkin that same thing çause 3 days ago I was able to send files using trillian, but with ICQ and WinMessenger never have luck.......Before XP i was able to send and receive files
Drewdatrip Posted January 25, 2002 Posted January 25, 2002 Well if you can use trillian, just stick with it..it combines all you chat clients..and its the best looking/working one out there!:beer-drew
renakuajo Posted January 25, 2002 Author Posted January 25, 2002 Thats the 1 I wanna use....the thing is that now I cant send files w/trillian or any other IM
renakuajo Posted January 25, 2002 Author Posted January 25, 2002 ok I uninstall ZA Pro and still cant send files......now i have tiny personal firewall and still cant send files....the other persons am sending the files dont have firewall
LS_Dragons Posted January 25, 2002 Posted January 25, 2002 You will need 'administrator' priveledges in order to send/receive files under XPLS
