    I've connected my 2 pc's.. internet is working fine, both are running Windows XP .. but i am unable to use the MSN MESSENGER on the other PC.


    I am able to use the internet on the PC on which cable modem is connected, but the other second pc is just not working good with msn messenger. Althought, i can access and surf all websites, its just the problem of this messeger.


    Any help? What to do?

    How are your pc's connected to the modem? Are you using a router, firewall, or are you sharing the connection from one pc to the other using ICS? This would seem to be a firewall or NAT issue with the port used by Messenger, which I believe is 1863.
