Hi, Jonathan,
Thanks for the quick response.
I downloaded and installed Windows Messenger 5.1 from the URL. To test
further, I installed the latest of everything on a PC at work, and two PCs at
home. Indeed, Windows Messenger 5.1 resolved the original message about
needing the latest version of Messenger. (BTW - could you ask the guy that
wrote that message to be a little more specific? I'm using Live Messenger -
the link in the message takes you to the Live Messenger download site - so
you'd think it was talking about Live Messenger, not Windows Messenger! A bit
confusing to say the least!) However, when I try to establish a Sharing
Session between a home PC and the work PC, afer a minute or two I get an
error 0x80ee000c - SIP Transaction Timed Out. Do some specific ports have to
be open between the two sites? When I try to establish a Sharing Session
between the two PCs behind my firewall, it works...sort of. When I click on
the Whiteboard icon on the sharing window, it starts a whiteboard and both
clients can co-manipulate it. However, when I click on Application Sharing,
nothing happens. No messages, no menus. Nothing. Even though I have other
applications open on both PCs. When this worked before, I got a menu of all
the open apps to choose from, or choose the entire Desktop.
Close, but no cigar, yet. I appreciate your advice so far, but things
still aren't working as advertised, yet.
Thanks.
