I have ZoneAlarm Security Suite 6.5 and this has the problem. There are workarounds. Zonelabs say downgrading to 6.1 will fix it (great, eh?) but there's also a workaround available via a link on their user forums, which involves hacking IM Security.

I've not bothered with either fix as I only tend to use Messenger for text chat, so I can't comment on what issues there may be.
Nope, not using ZoneAlarm. I've got a hardware firewall in my router and I use the XP SP2 firewall. Both are configured for MSN file transfers and video chats etc. The problem seems to not occur so much since moving from MSN Messenger to Live Messenger.
