Videoconferecing behind Linksys router

[jim]

My friend and I have had similar problems and still
unresolved. I have the 4 port linksys wire router with
cable and he has the wireless with a DSL modem. When we
connect his end directly to the internet (bypassing the
router) it works. I suggest you do a similar test to see
if you can establish which end is not working.

Finally, Yahoo 5.5 has a much better video conf. (bigger
picture) and less hassles to get working. Until MS
releases Windows Messenger 5, I really do not think video
is worthwhile in Windows Messenger.
