SYMPTOMS
When you accept a file transfer from another chat room member, you may receive the following message:

Connection failed.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur when both a network adapter and a dial-up adapter are listed in Network Properties.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, download the updated Microsoft Chat 2.1a from the following Microsoft Web site:

http://webchat.msn.com/

NOTE: Because the Microsoft Web site is regularly updated, the site address may change without notice. If this occurs, link to the Microsoft home page at the following address:

MORE INFORMATION
If either computer has a network adapter and a dial-up adapter, only the primary adapter is used to transfer the file. If this fails, no attempt is made to negotiate with the secondary adapter.
