Jonathan:..As always I greatly appreciate your knowledge in this
field..According to my Linksys router (Befw11s4) firmware (1.50) upnp is
enabled..Going into add windows components the networking services and upnp
are checked however it still does not work...Something I should have
mentioned is that I am also running Norton Security 2004 (my apologies )...I
believe Windows messenger is set to allow all though...Any other ideas
???.....Thanks as always..............Drew
