messenger 6 router settings

[Anthony Hegedus]

Further to my previous post, what settings should I set on my dlink
router to allow webcam conversations, as the Upnp doesn't seem to open
up the relevant ports by default?

Thanks

You can try using the "start a video conference" feature instead of webcam.
It should use UPnP to open up ports. The webcam feature doesn't yet support
UPnP.

Could you also possibly tell me which ports you need to open for the webam
feature to work, as other people I have tried this with use XP's built-in
firewall and need to disable it for the webcam to work.
