For anyone who's interested: I got AIM and any Router To Router Direct Connection to Work

I posted this in the Software section as well:

I know a lot of us have trouble direct connecting from one router to another router and sending files. I don't know if this has been posted before but I stumbled upon this workaround and just wanted to share it with you guys. Hope it helps some of you out. Here it is:

1. Open netmeeting
2. Enter any IP addy (For example 64.108.1.1)
3. Hit the phone icon.
4. Hit cancel AND close netmeeting
5. Direct connect and file transfer should now work.

I got this to work in Windows XP. You don't have to forward any ports either or not that i know of.

do both people do this or just one?

jes one.. the draw back is i think you have to do it each time you want to transfer to a new person. Lemme know if it works for ya.
