Re: Remote assistance not working....



I assume you and your mom are using Windows Messenger not MSN Messenger.
I think you need to disable Zone Alarm during the Remote Assistance
session. I hold Remote Assistance session from time to time with my
mom, sister in law and my friends. We all use WXP Pro systems which are
placed behind routers but none of us is using Zone Alarm.
