Hi,

I've already checked that option. It doesn't seem to work. Can it be because I'm using aMSN over a HTTP connection?

Best regards,

Mark

You can't see any picture if you are behind a firewall or a router. To fix the problem:

- Check your real IP-address at for example: http://www.whatismyip.com/
- Enter it at Menu -> Tools -> Preferences -> Connection tab

doesn't seem to work

Hey Arne,

I tried your solution but it doesn't seem to work. Does the transfer go over another port that's blocked? I use a proxy server cocytus.atea.be with port 3128

Best regards,

Mark

You will need the "convert" tool from ImageMagick. Without convert it isn't possible to view the display pictures of others.
