Re: port forwarding on messenger

Greetings,

There are a lot of poor or incomplete implementations of UPnP out there -- Messenger will
just ignore those (or won't work correctly). In some cases they fix these up with firmware
updates but in other cases you're stuck.

However, Messenger can still send files without UPnP of course, just not very quickly
