Solution to Video & Audio Problem?

[John Putnam]

Jonathan,

I found this in the posts:

"If your IP address begins with a 192, 172, or 10, you
may be on a NAT'd connection (either
from your ISP, or a from the DSL modem) and you won't be
able to send files/voice/video, etc."

My connection shows the "192" prefix. Is this my problem?
Am I doomed to defeat forever? Any solution?

Greetings John,

When I sent that earlier I knew I should've clarified *grin*. If you see this, yes, it means
you're behind a NAT, but in your case, your NAT (the Linksys router) supports Universal Plug
and Play (UPnP), so yes, you can use voice/video (and file transfer using MSN Messenger 5).
See my other post to you for more details =).
