I have MSN behind a router with NAT. I can chat, transfer files and
send/receive live cam, but i cant establish an audio conversation. Any
hints?
thanks

Greetings Marco,

The NAT/router must support Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) for voice conversations to work
(or have some type of built-in support, which obviously doesn't exist since it's not
working). A number of routers/NATs now support UPnP, but they may need a firmware
update. Check your router manufacturers website to see if there's an update for UPnP, or
simply reply back here with the brand and model of the router and we can quickly check to see
if UPnP is available.
