I tried the MSN Toolbar for a few days, and it blocked pop-ups properly for me, and never blocked AWIN.
However, I have moved to Windows XP SP2 with the built in IE popup blocker. |

sphbecker, what model and firmware revision is your router?
Is it an original BEFSR41? If so, there's a beta firmware (v.145.002) that should fix your problem. Also, make sure that the UPnP mode is actually enabled in the router settings (On the password page -- I don't remember if it's enabled by default). Though this and the models at that time that received UPnP through firmware updates did have a seemingly incomplete/buggy implementation (more or less depending on the firmware version), but I've had filesharing, etc, working with that model in particular. My main router now is an MS model, which has a more robust implementation. I believe current D-Link models are also pretty good, but I haven't had personal experience with them. |

#3: That's funny. On one computer I use the Google toolbar and I always have problems getting to activewin.com. I start IE, type in activewin.com, dismiss the first message box, press Ctrl-F5 (reload and bypass the browser cache), then dismiss one or two message boxes. Only then I can view this site.
On another computer with the MSN tool bar, I never have any problems. <edit spelling mistake> This post was edited by SoylentGreen on Monday, April 26, 2004 at 21:20. |

Could be the other end. If your UPnP is working, I believe the other end should be able to send you files, but you can't send them files because the port won't open automatically on the firewall on their side (I may have this reversed). If you can, just to test MSN Messenger file transfer, get the other side to open port TCP 6891 and point it to their internal IP address (the available range is 6891 to 6900 (one port per computer on the local network that uses messenger if you want simultaneous transfers). If this doesn't work, also open 6891 on your computer. If that works, there's a problem with the UPnP on your router.
More info here http://help.msn.com/!data/en_us/data/Messengerv62XP.its51/$content$/Messenger_PROC_RADIO_ConfigureYourNetworkForInstantMessagingAndFileTransfer.htm For video conferencing, you may want to try Microsoft Portrait as an alternative. http://research.microsoft.com/~jiangli/portrait/ Here's the firewall config for A/V conferencing with it: http://research.microsoft.com/~jiangli/portrait/html/faqhowtocommunicatethroughafirewall.htm |
