doug Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 Here is the message from my friend, which I hope is self explanatory. I mailed him to ask what firewall he activated. - Having been advised by NTL to install another firewall I don't seem to be getting your pop up sign on message. I suspect the new firewall has blocked the link we had. There have been references to someone trying to access [low risk] and I simply say OK as I believe it to be you. However it' easier to respond to the Messenger pop up and I suspect it's a bit quicker than E mail which seems to take time to come through. Can you reattach the link from your end? - :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ellas Posted January 3, 2004 Report Share Posted January 3, 2004 think he means the box in the righthand corner of your taskbar informing you someone has logged on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nellie2 Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 Doug, if he can connect with MSN then it shouldn't be a firewall problem. Tell him to check his options to make sure he has the 'Display alert when a contact comes online' box ticked!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
