Windows Messenger/Sending Files/XP Firewall

[Raistlin]

I have the XP Firewall setup with its default settings. When I load up Windows Messenger, I can receive files, but I can't send them. I looked into the firewalls settings and there are two entries for Windows Messenger, and both are checked, ie. let stuff through. If I disable the firewall, I can send files fine.

Why is that? Is there a setting I can enable when in Messenger to allow me to send files?

Thanks in advance,

Raist
