Need Help about "Sharing Application - Desktop" in Windows Messeng

I tried and failed to share application with another live messenger user. Pop
up showed me "Connecting............." and then time out. My fren tried to
share application to me, when I pressed "Accepted", Pop up keep showing
"Waiting........" and then failed to get connected.
I Wonder what config in MSN security/connection/firewall do I have to
configure?
Thanks for help

Greetings Heng,

In order for this to work, I'd suggest at least temporarily just shutting down any
non-Microsoft firewall software when you try this as most third-party software can mess this
up.

Another problem might be any routers or other similar networking hardware/software. In order
for this feature to work through these scenarios, the devices (router for instance) needs to
support and have Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) enabled. It will not work without it.
