GAIM not capable of sending files, but can receive

[O. Hartmann]

Sorry, maybe a little bit off-topic here.

I tried using GAIM as IM, but ran into trouble. Receiving documents is 
working, but with or without any kind of firewall sending files is not 
possible.

The GAIM installation is as is taken from the ports collection, firewall 
disabled ... Tried ICQ/MSN/Yahoo and IRC, always the same, no sending, 
but receiving ...

Any help appreciated,

regards
