The messenger service is a big security hole in windows and its normally turned off now days.
If your gonna turn this back on, make sure your hosts are well protected.

Hi,

Actually the problem was at widow client machine’s end. The Firewall was on.

I switched off firewall (diabled) and it started working normally.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Manish
