one way voice communications

[Joe Young]

About A week ago I was no longer able to have voice
communications with msn messenger. I can hear the party
to whom I am connected and the little blue color bar that
shows your voice output works and and set up for speaker
mic says it is working but party on other end cant hear
me. Please help if you can I have windows xp. Thank you.

Greetings Joe,

Firstly, if you and your contact have the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) enabled on your
connection, you might try turning it off -- 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.

Secondly, if you or your contact have a third-party firewall installed (ZoneAlarm, Sygate,
Norton Internet Security/Firewall, etc.) make sure that Messenger has full rights to the
internet connection ['Permit All', 'Allow All', or 'Medium' (ZoneAlarm)].

Thirdly, if you or your contact are you using a router, assuming the router supports
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), close down Messenger (right-click its icon in the
notification area/system tray and click Exit), click Start, All Programs, Accessories,
Communications, Network Connections. Right-click the "Broadband Connection Internet Gateway"
or similar name (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 restart Messenger (click Start, then All Programs, then Windows Messenger) and try
a voice conversation again.
