i found this document

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/deploy/worki01.mspx#XSLTsection126121120120

scroll down to heading (note there are two headings named this, scroll to 2nd one)

"Administrator/User Action Required"

and it lists the following info

"To enable voice and video communications with Windows Messenger through a non-UPnP firewall, configure the firewall to allow incoming traffic on UDP ports 5004 ? 65535.

For other purposes, enable the following ports:

? File Transfer: 6891 (to allow 10 simultaneous file transfers, open ports 6891?6900)

? Application and Whiteboard Sharing: 1503

? Remote Assistance: 3389"

ive tried opening those ports, and i still cant get file transfers, whiteboard, or video/voice to work. anyone have any experience in this area?

and i thought maybe i should post this to software. :p
