Yahoo File Transfer Issues
Ok I use Yahoo Instant Messenger quite a bit. All of a sudden I noticed I am unable to transfer files from within Messenger. Others can send files to me just fine. When I send a file, the user on the other end may get a message that I may be behind a firewall. I recently put a Netgear MR314 wireless router and now use it for my desktop and laptop to share my DSL. The Mr314 firewall capabilities are minimal if any I thought. So at first I thought the problem may have lied there. Last night however the first time I tried to transfer a file within Yahoo Messenger, it went perfectly. Now every time since he bombs.
Here is my troubleshooting steps:
I started and instance of Messenger on my laptop and desktop with different accounts. It transferred a file perfectly.
I tried to send a file from my desktop with DSL to another laptop using Netzero and it failed to go through.
Hooked my laptop on my company LAN and sent a file just fine.
Now I am stumped and not sure what else to do. I have contacted Yahoo but have not gotten a response as of yet.
Any other ideas? I think it almost has to be yahoo. But others can send to me no problem at all.
thanks
