I just installed a LAN in office messaging program. Works on all computers but one. The one it doesn't work on is the newest computer in the office. Maybe 2 months old if that. I have a feeling this is a simple security issue, but can't seem to find it. I can send messages to anyone in the office, just can't receive them.
Thank you in advance for any help on this matter.
Regards,
Cricket

Hello,
This sounds like a fire wall issue.
Please tell me what OS you are using, as well as fire wall, and security programs.
It may be a simple setting in your fire wall to allow IM.
