I AM ONLINE BUT NOONE CAN SEND MESSAGES TO ME

WE HAVE AN INTEROFFICE (LAN) NETWORK OF 3 COMPUTERS. I AM LOGGED INTO THE
MESSENGER. IT DISPLAYS THAT I AM ONLINE. OTHERS -HOWEVER SEE ME AS OFFLINE.
AS THEY APPEAR OFFLINE ON MY MESSENGER. THEY DO NOT HAVE ME BLOCKED AS I DO
NOT HAVE THEM BLOCKED. NOONE HAS I CAN'T SEND MESSAGES AND THEY CAN'T SEND
THEM TO ME EITHER, OBVIOUSLY. I HAVE REPAIRED MY .NET FRAMEWORK 2.0 AND
UNINSTALLED AN OLD VERSION OF MESSENGER 4.7 AND INSTALLED A NEW 7.0 VERSION.
I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.
WE ALL HAVE MS XP SVCE PACK 2 AND WE ALL RUN THE MS LIVE ONECARE WITH THE
SAME FIREWALL SETTINGS.

ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
