Re: Router Port Configuration

[Roger Beckermeyer]

Hello there Jonathan,

The ports you have listed are they the start and end
ports?

I have gone through the Audio Tuning Wizard and still no
change.

Thanks for the help,
Roger Beckermeyer

What model Netgear are you using?
I have the RP614 model (latest firmware update from Netgear web site)
Messenger 4.7 will not allow me to use audio
Messenger 5.0 will
I am still having problems receiving files

Hi Spike,

Due to the way Messenger receives files, any problem receiving files is most likely on the
side of the person sending (when you receive, you connect to your contact and download the
file). This is either due to your contact sending either having a firewall that isn't allow
Messenger to connect to the correct ports, or not using an UPnP enabled router and MSN
Messenger 5.
