Greetings,

A few things could be causing this. Firstly, make sure you've gone through the Audio (and
Video) Tuning Wizard recently (open the main Messenger window, click the Tools menu, then
Audio Tuning Wizard).

Secondly, try turning off any firewall you might have engaged, including the Windows XP
Internet Connection Firewall -- click Start, then click the Control Panel. If you're in
category view click Network and Internet connections then click Network Connections. Right
click your network/internet connection, then click Properties. Click the Advanced Tab, and
verify that the Internet Connection Firewall is unchecked.

If you're trying to contact PCs outside your local network (not 100% sure by your message),
and are using a router, you may just need to remove the current forwardings -- to do so,
click Start, All Programs, Accessories, Communications, Network Connections. Right-click the
"Internet Gateway" (should be under the Internet Gateway heading) and choose Properties.
Choose the Settings button, click each 'msmsgs' or 'msnmsgr' entry and then choose 'Delete'
to each one. Then close Messenger (right-click the Messenger icon, choose Exit), then restart
Messenger and try a voice/video conversation again.
