Hi Colin,
I have had exactly the same problems as you describe for many months.
The service provider's support could not find the answer and all
internet searches seemed to be fruitless.
Then, whilst checking the hardware firewall settings, I stumbled on an
option called M T U.
M T U stands for Maximum Transmission Unit and by default is set to
1,500 (one thousand five hundred) by the firewall. In my case a quick
internet search found that my provider only supports a maximum of 1,400
(one thousand four hundred) so the change was made.
Every website, MSN and other applications which support internet
downloads now work perfectly.
It may not be the answer to your question but it certainly worth a try!
Regards,
Chris.

Subject: [access-uk] msn query
I'm using msn 5 with XP pro SP2, and just experienced the following
problem.
We could not send this file because the connection is blocked. Please
contact your system administrator or Internet service provider; they may
be able to enable file transfers.

shit!
I wonder if this something to do with the firewall settings again, I
keep encountering difficulties with accessing certain links on websites,
and I'm concerned that my firewall settings are too over stringent.
If anyone can shed any light on this, then I'd be extremely grateful.
